Bengaluru: In a note submitted to Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala, the Congress party has accused the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa-led government of becoming non-functional ahead of the Assembly by-polls. The party alleges that this has happened since all the appointed ministers have been assigned to the election campaign.
Speaking to ANI, Congress leader Prakash Rathore said, “The Congress party has filed a complaint with the office of the Governor against the state government, claiming that almost all the ministers are busy campaigning in favour of their candidates instead of being in office and looking into the issues of their respective segments.”
The Congress party’s note also urges Governor Vala to act against the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) for the breach of the Hulimavu Lake.
Rathore further said, “Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Deputy Mayor Ram Mohanraj had ordered some of the BBMP officers to demolish the sidewall of the Hulimavu Lake, but it led to the flooding of about 2000 houses in the area.”
The Karnataka Assembly by-elections are scheduled to take place on December 5 in 15 constituencies across the state. Counting will be on December 9.
