Congress to stage mega protest in Belagavi on Sept 24 over relief to flood victims
Bengaluru, Sep 23: The Congress in Karnataka will stage a demonstration at Belagavi on September 23 against the 'indifferent' attitude of the BJP government in the state, as well as the centre, towards providing relief for the flood victims, a senior Congress leader said.
"We are going to stage a mega protest in Belagavi on Tuesday. The Centre has betrayed Karnataka," state Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao said here.
He warned that Congress would hold state-wide demonstrations if the Centre did not release funds for the flood victims.
As many as 22 districts in Karnataka were hit by floods last month following torrential rains.
Almost all the rivers of North Karnataka and coastal regions were in spate, inundating large swathes of land.
More than 80 people lost their lives and about 1.5 lakh houses were destroyed lakhs of hectares of crops were also damaged.
Rao took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he had sympathised with the flood victims at Houston, but did not find time to console those affected in Karnataka and not released any funds for them.
He also flayed the BJP MPs from the state for their 'silence' and inability to bring funds from the Centre.
"Belagavi, Bagalkot, Dharwad, Chikkamagaluru, Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu have BJP MPs... Where are they? what are they doing? Rao asked.
He criticised union ministers Prahlad Joshi, Suresh Angadi and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, all of whom hail from the flood affected areas in the state, for their 'failure' to impress upon the Centre to release funds to Karnataka.
"The BJP is following the anti-people policies and is doing injustice to the people.
Never has any Central government betrayed Karnataka as the Modi government has done," he said.

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.
