Bengaluru, Sep 15: "It is a tragedy that Prime minister Narendra Modi, who visits a new country every day and who changes his attire every minute, does not have a second to listen to the woes of flood-affected victims of North Karnataka," said former CM and president of CLP Siddaramaiah expressing his unhappiness over PM Modi not taking interest in declaring relief for flood-affected victims of the state.
Tweeting on this issue, Siddaramaiah posted, "In 2009, when B S Yediyurappa himself was the CM of the state, the then prime minister Manmohan Singh had responded to the flood situation immediately, had come to the state, made an aerial survey and declared Rs 1,500 crore as relief. Where is the present prime minister?"
"The Chandrayana-2 experiment, for which our brilliant scientists toiled 24x7, failed, though the prime minister himself was present. If the PM Modi had given the same time spent watching the experiment to the deluge victims, it would have been a great repentance for him," added Siddaramaiah.
