Calling Uttarakhand disaster a national crisis, Samajwadi Party today said the lackadaisical attitude of the Centre and the state government is causing resentment among people.
"The Uttarakhand rain tragedy is a national crisis. Those stranded there should be given all possible and timely help. The lackadaisical attitude of the Centre and Uttarakhand government is causing resentment among people," party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav said.
