Wah Modi Wah!! Siddaramaiah lashes out at PM for ignoring K'taka’s flood woes, calls BSY a weak CM
Bengaluru, Jan 03: The Opposition Congress and JD(S) slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his visit to Karnataka, with former chief minister Siddaramaiah posing a slew of questions under the #answermeModi hashtag.
Briefing media at KPCC office, former CM Siddaramaiah said,''In last elections, PM Modi said if BJP comes to power in Centre and state, there will be development. But nothing has happened, CM and ministers should have spoken to PM about relief fund for floods. That is why I call BS Yediyurappa a weak CM.''
The former chief minister pontificated that the Centre was yet to give Karnataka its share of funds.
''Centre has only estimated loses of Rs 3,800 crore. Modi must remember his promises made during election rally,'' he said.

You did not visit Karnataka when it was devastated by floods,
You did not visit Ktaka when our farmers cried for help,
But all of a sudden, when you want to launch your political propaganda, you remember innocent ppl of Ktaka.
