Congress, JD(S) target Modi after his tweet on Bihar floods
Bengaluru, Oct 1: The opposition Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, alleging that he has adopted an "indifferent behaviour" towards Karnataka on the issue of extending flood relief funds from the Centre.
The outburst came after Modi's tweet about the Bihar floods.
"Spoke to Nitish Kumar Ji regarding the flood situation in parts of the state.
Agencies are working with local administration to assist the affected.
Centre stands ready to provide all possible further assistance that may be required,"Modi had tweeted on Monday.
Retweeting Modi's tweet, former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah sought to know why there was "hatred" for Karnataka and no response from Modi despite the severe floods that ravaged many parts of Karnataka.
"More than 60 days since parts Karnataka suffered from floods.
No shelter, nothing to eat, cattle dying, crops lost - but response from Narendra Modi is missing.
Why this hatred towards Karnataka?", he tweeted.
He also questioned the "inaction" of the 25 BJP Lok Sabhamembers from Karnataka,asking them what they were doing.
Speaking to reporters in Chitradurga district, he said Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has been saying that his government has given Rs 10,000 each to the flood hit people, but they have alleged discrimination in release of money.
"They did not give money to those who supported Congress and only BJP supporters got the money. Till now no money has been released to rebuild houses, crop and livestock losses.
Not even sheds were given to those who lost their houses," he alleged.
Former deputy Chief Minister and Congress leader Dr G Parameshwara said he appreciated the "speedy aid" extended to Bihar, but tweeted that "We cannot but think about the gross apathy shown towards Karnataka by the Centre.
Karnataka, and the south, belong to India too, Narendra Modi Avare (Ji)!".
In another tweet, he said "On days like these, we cannot but wonder if Bihar's 40 seats vis-a-vis Karnataka's paltry 28 is the reason why Nitish Kumar gets a call, but B S Yediyurappa's repeated efforts to talk about Karnataka floods get rejected.
We are also in this nation, sir. What you are doing is not good",
The JD(S) tweeted: "Narendra Modi Avare (Ji), why can't you show similar interest in helping Karnataka? You visit Karnataka multiple times during elections but you do not want to be part of the sorrow of people now?"
During the floods in many parts of Karnataka in August, 84 people lost their lives, while lakhs of hectares of land was inundated.
About 1.5 lakh houses were damaged and there was huge loss of livestock.
Spoke to Bihar CM @NitishKumar Ji regarding the flood situation in parts of the state. Agencies are working with local administration to assist the affected. Centre stands ready to provide all possible further assistance that may be required.

It is the Centre's duty to help the states suffering from disasters. While we appreciate the speedy aid extended to Bihar, we cannot but think about the gross apathy shown towards Karnataka by the Centre.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
