The Kalyana Karnataka region faces a severe crisis as relentless rains and floods ravage the area, leaving over 3.5 lakh farmers in despair. This calamity has prompted sharp criticism from the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, R Ashoka, who accuses the ruling Congress government of being conspicuously absent during this time of need.
Ashoka has targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, questioning his silence and the party's handling of the crisis. He highlights the government's expenditure on caste surveys, deeming it a misplaced priority when compared to the urgent needs of farmers inundated in debt and desperation. The impact is dire, especially for tenant farmers who have lost everything, yet find themselves ineligible for compensation.
The BJP leader has further accused the Congress government of lacking a plan and exhibiting apathy towards the agricultural community, calling it a betrayal of their promises. As the Gandhi family and state leaders remain silent, the affected regions in Karnataka continue to suffer.
