    It is better to give money directly/ contribute to the peoples than sending it to the chief minister's fund. Imagine what happened in Kerala.

    The employees of the electricity board paid their one month salary for the flood relief fund. But the board did not give to the government but adjusted against their expenses.

    I recently contributed through an NGO who bought material and directly handed over to the aggrieved people. See the people who are affected and donate directly to them. This is truth

    however much the rain batters this state, chaddiyurappa or daku or feku will not be bothered.

    Do not expect anything but some crumbs of bread as flood relief funds.

    Keep on voting for the saffron party. Modi Modi Modi

    Very true !! BJP has spent so many crores to build statues and they are still planning to spend for few more statues. But they don't have money for poor people who are in trouble. They don't have money to construct good roads & proper drainage.

    When BJP Govt can give 100 Crores to each Disgruntled MLAs why can't they pay to the people distressed by flood that means they wanted only power in Karnataka.
