Karnataka BJP govt has not provided any flood relief, alleges Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru, Oct 29: Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday alleged that there was no government in the state as it has failed to provide any relief to the flood-hit people even after three months.
The Congress leader lamented that no one has got any relief other than Rs 10,000 to a few people.
"Three months have passed ever since the floods hit the state. There is no government. It is now completely dead," Siddaramaiah told reporters after inspecting flood ravaged areas of Belagavi.
"The government has not given any compensation for the loss to crop, livestock and houses. They have not arranged schools and textbooks for the students," Siddaramaiah claimed.
He wanted to know how the government would conduct the assembly session without given compensation to the flood-hit people.
They (BJP ministers and MLAs) are touring in these places only to conduct the by-elections. We are witnessing an anti-people government in the state, Siddaramaiah said.
To a question on the reported silence of minister Jagadish Shettar on flood relief, Siddaramaiah said, "Shettar is hurt that he was not even made the deputy chief minister though he was a chief minister in the past.
His pain is aggravated when Laxman Savadi is made deputy chief minister despite losing the assembly election."
He advised Shettar to set aside his grievances and work towards the welfare of people.
"If you (Shettar) have grievances, fight with the high command but at least hear the plight of people. When you have taken up a responsibility then fulfill it sincerely or else resign from your post," Siddaramaiah said.
To a question on former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy's alleged statement that Siddaramaiah's focus was on toppling the government and conduct fresh assembly polls, he said "I never topple governments. It is their forte of Deve Gowda's family to pull down the government, not mine."

Ansuman Bhagat’s Unique Initiative Connecting Hindi Literature with the Technological Era
Kalam Ka Karwaan has emerged as a distinctive initiative aimed at promoting Hindi literature and its writers while connecting them with the contemporary technological age. More than just a literary event, it represents a progressive vision conceptualized by Jamshedpur famous writer Ansuman Bhagat, who seeks to create a meaningful bridge between traditional literary expression and today’s digital generation. Organized under the banner of Sahityasindhika, the program focuses on presenting the real-life struggles, experiences, and creative journeys of Hindi authors. The objective is to transform these lived experiences into inspirational “footprints” for today’s youth, offering them guidance, motivation, and a deeper understanding of the dedication behind literary success.
The initiative was first launched in the city of Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, where renowned and eminent local writers shared their life journeys, hardships, and literary insights. The event highlighted that literature is not merely about reading written works, but about understanding the emotional resilience, discipline, and perseverance that shape an author’s voice. According to Ansuman Bhagat, literature in today’s digital and fast-paced era requires new forms of presentation and meaningful dialogue. Kalam Ka Karwaan is a step in that direction bringing literature beyond conventional platforms and making it more accessible, interactive, and relevant to younger audiences.
This platform is specially dedicated to Hindi language, Hindi writers, and lovers of Hindi literature. Through open and honest conversations, senior and contemporary authors share life experiences that often remain undocumented in books but serve as guiding lessons for the next generation.
After its successful beginning in Jamshedpur, preparations are underway to expand the initiative to major literary centers such as Delhi, Mumbai, Banaras, and Lucknow. The vision is to establish a nationwide series of literary dialogues where writers openly narrate their struggles and inspire youth across cities. Kalam Ka Karwaan marks the beginning of a positive and creative movement in Hindi literature one that harmonizes tradition with technology and seeks to give literature a renewed direction in modern times.
