PM has insulted Karnataka by not speaking on flood relief: Congress

The State Congress on Saturday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s concern towards the flood-affected people of Karnataka and said that he had disappointed the State by not even discussing the matter with the government.
“The Prime Minister, who has announced a $1 billion line of credit for Russia’s Far East has not uttered a word on providing aid to the flood-affected people of Karnataka. He has insulted the people of the State,” Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president Dinesh Gundu Rao told presspersons.
He said that the Prime Minister, who visited the Indian Space Research Organisation centre in Bengaluru to witness the landing of Chandrayaan-2, should have convened a meeting with Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa and announced flood relief. Mr. Modi should have visited some areas of the flood-hit districts of the State to gather first-hand information on the extent of damage to crops and public and private infrastructure, he said.
