Bengaluru, August 19: Former deputy chief minister R Ashok said that the BJP MLAs from Bengaluru and BBMP corporators have decided to donate their two months salary to the Kodagu flood victims.
Speaking at a preparatory meeting on sending the relief materials to the flood victims, here on Sunday, Ashok said that party other office-bearers have also decided to contribute Rs 10,000 each to the flood victims. The district has never seen such a rain and disaster in this century. But the people of the district have lost their dear ones and lost their homes, he said.
He said that the party workers should collect the necessary materials like food items, cloths, medicines, drinking water, blankets, bed sheets, batteries and other materials and donations from the industrialists, businessmen, associations and others. If the people come forward to contribute voluntarily, party workers should collect them and handed them over to the party office, he said.
On Sunday, the BBMP members and MLAs have contributed Rs 11.56 lakh. They were in touch with the Kodagu MLAs and if needed, more donations would be provided, he said.
Party leaders V Somanna, Tejashwini Gowda, Tara, Muniraju, Manjula, Subbanna, Padmanabha Reddy and others were present.
