Come out of Bengaluru and see pain of flood victims: Congress slams Karnataka Revenue Minister
Belagavi: Accusing Revenue Minister R. Ashok of not coming out of Bengaluru to heed the grievances of flood victims, KPCC Working President, Satish Jarkiholi has said that when North Karnataka region is reeling under floods, the Minister is not leaving Bengaluru.
"People are suffering because of the natural calamity but Revenue Minister has no time to heed their grievances as he is not ready to leave Bengaluru", he said.
Addressing media persons at the party office on Friday, he demanded the Minister to travel to Belagavi and Vijayapura districts where floods have made the lives of people miserable.
Criticizing Ministers of Belagavi district, Satish said that despite the district having four Ministers, they are not working in tandem.
"They are not working in coordination to help affected people. Like Ashok, other Ministers are also choosing to work from Bengaluru", he said.
He added that Congress has demanded the government to hold a special session. If it is held, then issues pertaining to flood relief and scams in the purchase of equipment during the COVID pandemic will be raised.
Referring to recent Bengaluru violence, he said that Congress has constituted a Fact-Finding Committee to unearth the truth. However, the committee is yet to begin its work. The report of the committee will reveal the truth. He opined that if the government gets the inquiry conducted through a retired High Court Judge, it will bring out the facts.
