At a time when the forces are battling all odds and continuing the rescue and relief operations in flood ravaged Uttarakhand, the leaders of the Telegu Desam Party (TDP) and the Congress Party entered into a squabble at the Dehradun Airport here on Wednesday evening over who will fly the victims back home.

Members of the Congress and the TDP pushed each other to grab a batch of people who were brought to the airport after being rescued. Both parties wanted to fly home the survivors, who are from Andhra Pradesh.

Instead of apologizing, the leaders of the two political outfits later indulged in petty blame game.
