Bengaluru, Aug 12: Former Prime Minister and national president of the JD (S), H D Deve Gowda, was all in praise for Karnataka chief minister, B S Yediyurappa. He was speaking to reporters at his party office here.
"Yediyurappa has been staying in flood-affected areas since the last five to six days. He has also been responding to problems of the people. We should not play politics by finding fault with him in the name of non-formation of the ministry," he opined.
He said Kumaraswamy has travelled to various flood-affected areas and listened to problems. He asked leaders of all the three major parties to come together and work to solve problems of the people. He sought interim relief of Rs 5,000 crore to the state to undertake flood relief measures. He also urged union ministers to take up aerial survey of destruction, identify the actual loss and respond to the problems of the people by releasing enough funds.
