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.

UP: Fake IAS officer marries woman, flees with Rs 15 lakh dowry
Gorakhpur (UP) (PTI): A newly married man fled with the Rs 15 lakh given to him as dowry by the bride's family, and it came to light later that he was an alleged serial scammer, police said on Sunday.
The accused, identified as Pritam Kumar Nishad from Etawah, allegedly posed as an IAS officer to deceive the woman into marrying him. He is currently absconding with his sister, and a case has been filed against him for cheating, dowry harassment, and forgery, officials said.
According to the police, the woman's family claimed that they spent nearly Rs 30 lakh for the wedding that was solemnised on March 11.
The match was arranged through a matrimonial group, where the accused introduced himself as an IAS officer, sharing purported interview clips, office visuals, and photographs with politicians to gain the family's trust.
Despite initially claiming he would marry without dowry, the accused allegedly demanded Rs 15 lakh shortly before the engagement. The bride's family paid Rs 10 lakh in cash during the engagement and the remaining Rs 5 lakh on the wedding day, the police said.
The fraud came to light on Saturday after the woman reached Etawah, and a wedding attendee informed the family that the accused was not a civil servant. When her relatives visited the address provided by him, they found her in a small rented room, while the accused and his sister had fled, the police added.
The woman has also alleged that the accused planned to take her to Goa and sell her, and accused him of inappropriate behaviour.
The police suspect that the accused may have been involved in multiple such marriages in the past. Based on a complaint lodged at the cantonment police station, an FIR was registered on Saturday evening.
Senior Superintendent of Police Dr Kaustubh said efforts are underway to arrest the accused.
