Bengaluru, Sept 6: Hitting back at Karnataka Chief Minister for blaming previous Congress governments' 'maladministration' for Bengaluru's rain woes, party's state president D K Shivakumar on Tuesday urged Basavaraj Bommai and his administration to perform or face election.
The Karnataka government has estimated rain-related losses since June to the tune of Rs 7,647.13 crore, and will be sending a proposal to the Centre seeking a relief of Rs 1,012.5 crore as per National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) norms.
The Indian Meteorological Department has forecasted heavy rains in Karnataka and Kerala over the next few days. Meanwhile, the rising water level of the Ganga and Varuna rivers has submerged parts of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
