Yediyurappa faces heavy protest during his tour of flood-ravaged North Karnataka
CM Yediyurappa faced protests from people during his tour of flood-ravaged North Karnataka.
CM, who was touring the districts to take stock of relief and rehabilitation work, even lost his cool with journalists and protesters.
Farmer leaders Jayashri Gurannavar and Chunappa Pujari led a group that shouted slogans against Yediyurappa for delaying compensation for crops lost in the flood.
On the advice of officials, Yediyurappa reportedly cancelled a visit to Jamkhandi taluk, fearing more protests.
Later he found some relief, when the Centre came through with an interim relief package of Rs 1,200 crore.
