'Maladministration by congress': Karnataka CM blames previous government for the Bengaluru deluge 

Karnataka deluge: citizens struggle, politicians play blamegame

'Maladministration by congress': Karnataka CM blames previous government for the Bengaluru deluge 

Even as Karnataka CM claimed to manage the situation in a day or two pictures of his cabinet minister R Ashoka apparently dozing off during a flood review meeting on Tuesday went viral drawing flak from the opposition.

While Bengaluru continues to reel from the aftermath of the torrential downpour, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai cited &lsquo;maladministration&rsquo; by the previous state government which led to the present situation in the city. However, the opposition party hit back at the chief minister for his accusation, news agency PTI reported.&nbsp;
The CM blamed unprecedented rain in the city and overflowing water bodies for the deluge.&nbsp;
Speaking to the reporters on the situation, Bommai said that only two zones in Bengaluru bore the brunt of rains although a picture was being painted as if the entire Bengaluru was struggling.&nbsp;
He further added that his government has taken it as a "challenge" to restore normalcy and engineers and workers and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) teams are working round the clock.

Meanwhile, citizens continued to face difficulties and roads, streets, and posh localities continued to reel under water. Expensive top-end cars and vehicles lying under water, even in areas that have luxury villas, was a common sight.

A Lingayat seer on Monday alleged that mutts (monasteries) are equally affected due to rampant corruption prevailing in the state as they too pay a commission of 30 per cent to get the sanctioned grants released for them.
Reacting to the statements, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said his government considers the seer's allegations "very seriously".
The accusation comes close on the heels of BJP leader K S Eshwarappa resigning from his ministerial position on Saturday after a contractor allegedly died by suicide in a hotel room in Udupi on April 12.
The contractor, in a purported WhatsApp message, had charged that he was compelled to take the extreme step because he was unable to meet Eshwarappa's demand of 40 per cent cut in a public work taken up in Hindalga village of Belagavi district in 2021.
"If a grant is sanctioned for a swami (seer), it reaches the mutt after 30 per cent deduction. This is the plain truth. Officials clearly tell you that unless the amount is deducted, your project will not start," Dingaleshwar Swamiji of Balehosur Mutt in Shirahatti taluk of Gadag said during a rally organised in Badagandi village in Bagalkote district.
The seer charged that none of the government programmes are happening properly in the state.
"There is a pathetic situation of paying 30 per cent commission. The work starts only after paying 30 per cent. Many contractors have stopped their works. There are only talks but no development is happening. Many MLAs fix the rate first before starting the work," the Swamiji claimed.
He added that this was not just his accusation but that of the people of the state and demanded that corruption must stop.
"There is big injustice happening to northern Karnataka. There is no system in place in northern Karnataka. Roads, bus services, education, schools are in bad shape. There is shortage of teachers here. Irrigation works are pathetic," the seer said.
Commenting on the allegations made by the Lingayat seer, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said, "He (the seer) is a great swamiji with a great track record. The entire state knows it. I only request His Holiness to give the entire details as to who paid, for what purpose it was paid and whom it was paid to. We will certainly inquire and go into the depth of the case. We consider his allegation very seriously." The seer's charge, though, gave the opposition Congress an ammunition to target the ruling BJP.
"It is a matter of shame that the BJP, which calls itself as a saviour of dharma (righteousness), is eating 30 per cent commission into the grants sanctioned for monasteries and temples," former chief minister Siddaramaiah said.
The Congress leader who has been calling the BJP government a ‘40 per cent commission government’, wondered why there was ‘concession’ of 10 per cent, and asked the BJP government not to limit to seeking 30 per cent commission from the temples and monasteries.
"How is your ‘Dharma Rakshana’ (protection of righteousness) when you take commission from God?” Siddaramaiah sought to know.
He also slammed CM Bommai for his statement in Hosapete during the BJP executive committee meeting on Sunday that the BJP would lay bare the Congress party’s corruption before public.
"Don’t make empty noise that you (Bommai) have evidences of corruption during Congress regime. Release the document and then talk," Siddaramaiah challenged the Chief Minister.
Allocation of grants to mutts and monasteries is not new in Karnataka. Successive governments have been releasing funds for mutts to carry out their religious and social works.

After contractor, seer in Karnataka alleges corruption

Demolition of a temple in a remote region of Mysuru has snowballed into a political slugfest. As part of a Supreme Court order, local administration carried out an anti-encroachment drive on September 8, demolishing what used to be the Adishakti Mahadevamma temple in Huchchagani&nbsp;village in Nanjangud.
Major outburst followed by Hindu outfits like Hindu Jagarana Vedike and Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Bhartiya Janta Party, in power in the state, was divided on the issue. While some leaders like Pratap Simha condemned the demolition, others backed the government officials and justified it as a court sanctioned action.
However, soon the Opposition jumped on the condemnation bandwagon. Using the &lsquo;hurts Hindu sentiment&rsquo; tactic, patented to BJP, the Opposition hit out at the ruling government.
BJP MP Tejasvi Surya faced the ire of Hindu activists&nbsp;up close on Thursday during a visit to Chikkamagaluru district. Surya blamed the Congress for fanning the Hindu anger.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had stepped in and halted the drive in order to quell the rising protest. The state also issued a show-cause notice to Mysuru&nbsp;administration for carrying out the government-sanctioned drive.
Caught in the political &amp; communal crossfire, the district administration was merely following out the Apex Court&rsquo;s order and working on a list created by the state government. Over 6,000 structures &mdash; including religious structures belonging to all communities &mdash; have been identified as encroaching on public roads and utilities.&nbsp;
