JD(S) too attacked the Prime Minister by calling him "irresponsible" and accused him of "neglecting" the flood-hit state.
"The country has never seen an irresponsible Prime Minister like Narendra Modi, as he was showing negligence by not extending any help, when the state is devastated because of floods.

ರಾಜ್ಯ ಭೀಕರ ಪ್ರವಾಹಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿಲುಕಿ ತತ್ತರಿಸಿದರೂ ಸಹ ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡದೆ ನಿರ್ಲಕ್ಷ್ಯ ತೋರಿದ @narendramodi ಯಂತಹ ಬೇಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯನ್ನು ದೇಶ ಹಿಂದೆಂದೂ ಕಂಡಿಲ್ಲ.

ಸ್ವಪಕ್ಷದ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಯನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿಯಾಗಲು ಹೆಣಗಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ @BSYBJP ರಷ್ಟು ದುರ್ಬಲ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಯನ್ನು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಹಿಂದೆಂದೂ ಕಂಡಿಲ್ಲ.
As many as 103 taluks in 22 districts were affected due to floods last month, in which over 80 people were killed.
Around seven lakh people were shifted to safe areas and thousands of houses were damaged.
