PM Modi has turned blind and deaf on Karnataka floods: Former CM Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Monday criticized PM Narendra Modi adding that the latter had turned ‘blind and deaf’ for Karnataka noting that he has failed to announce financial aid to the state in the wake of floods and natural disaster that has hit the state.
“PM Modi has turned blind and deaf towards issues people of Karnataka are facing due to disastrous floods recently” Siddaramaiah said while speaking to reporter in Badami during his visit to meet flood victims in North Karnataka.
He further took a dig at CM Yediyurappa stating that the BJP CM is scared of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and hence had failed to get aid from the centre for the state in the times of distress.
“Yediyurappa’s meeting with PM has not been of any help for the state. The centre has failed to announce aid to the state even after Amit Shah and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman have visited the state to survey the loss incurred due to floods” Siddaramaiah said.
Calling the BJP government in the state as ‘One man show’ Siddaramaiah further criticised Yediyurappa for running government without cabinet and council of ministers.
Recalling how UPA Government under Manmohan Singh had announced a relief of Rs. 1,600 crores for the state in 2009, Siddaramaiah called upon Yediyurappa to submit a written report of estimated loss incurred due to floods in the state which was yet to be done.

Cong wanted to extend reservation on basis of religion: PM Modi
Jaipur (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday charged that the Congress wanted to extend reservation on the basis of religion and give the right given to Dalits, backward and tribals to Muslims.
As soon as the Congress formed the government at the Centre in 2004, one of its first tasks was to reduce the SC/ST reservation in Andhra Pradesh and give reservation to Muslims, he said while addressing an election rally in Tonk.
"Modi is giving you a guarantee with an open heart that reservation for Dalits and backward tribals will neither end nor will it be allowed to be divided in the name of religion," he said.
The prime minister asserted that he understands the Constitution.
"Modi is dedicated to the Constitution. Modi is a person who worships Baba Saheb Ambedkar," he said.
