Mysore/Mysuru: Former MP and KPCC Spokesperson V.S. Ugrappa has accused both the State and the Union Governments of turning a blind eye to the problems of people due to unprecedented floods and steep rise in Corona positive cases.
Addressing a news conference here yesterday, he said that no relief work has begun even after Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai visited the flood-hit areas. The Union Government has shown a step-motherly attitude towards the State. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi did the aerial survey to take stock of floods in Gujarat, he did not do it when the floods hit Karnataka. When B.S. Yediyurappa was the Chief Minister in 2009, the then Leader of Opposition in the State Legislative Assembly Siddharamaiah had requested the then PM Dr. Manmohan Singh to visit the flood-hit areas in Karnataka and also got crores of rupees as relief released from Government of India. But the present situation was totally contrasting.
