"Monsoon has reached the state, deadline to complete flood relief works has passed, but the government is still in a review mode," BJP chief spokesman Vijay Bahadur Pathak told reporters here.
"Irrigation minister Shivpal Singh Yadav has said all preparations are in place. But he himself knows that of the Rs 725 crore allocated for flood safety, irrigation department has failed to spend 95 per cent and warnings are being issued on papers only," he alleged.
The spokesman alleged that there was threat of breach at two dozen embankments including Elgin and Shrinagar which are considered as very sentitive.
"Last year also there was loss of life and property in hundreds of village, but there seems no alertness on the government's part regarding preparations," he alleged.
Instead of making hollow statements, the government should complete safety arrangements on war footing, he added.
