Bengaluru: The BJP in Karnataka took potshots at the Congress-JDS coalition government dubbing it as “dead” over its “apathy” towards drought relief measures and warned of state-wide agitations if no action was taken in two to three days.

Alleging that those in the government were immersed in dealing with coalition worries and infighting, the saffron party leaders also hit out at Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy over his temple visits, and not sparing time for drought management.

“.. none of the officials or Ministers are paying heed. It looks like there is no one to question them,” state BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa told reporters here.

Pointing out that over 170 taluks in the state were facing drought and there was a shortage of drinking water, also fodder for cattle at several places, he said, neither officials nor Ministers are visiting the affected areas, while the Chief Minister doesn’t have time.

“… if no action is taken in two to three days it will be inevitable for us (BJP) to hold a state wide agitation. Government is dead, what has happened to officials. They should do their duty by travelling across the state and take measures, also release funds that are required,” he added.

Promising that the BJP would work towards getting more assistance from the Centre, the leader of opposition said, without paying attention to any of this, those in the government were immersed in their own “political drama.”
