Karnataka: Congress government calls out Amit Shah over drought relief delay allegation
Taking to social media platform X, the CM posted a timeline of the drought assessment and appeals. “As per the Drought Manual 2020 guidelines, a state can declare an early-season drought only during August. During Kharif 2023, the state assessed the drought twice…from November 2023 till now, you & your Ministry have been sleeping over the matter, while our 35 lakh farmers, having suffered from crop & income losses, are waiting for input subsidy of over 4663 crores,” he wrote.
