BJP leaders visit waterlogged areas after heavy rainfall in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, May 20, 2025 (ANI): BJP leaders including LoP R Ashoka and BJP President Vijayendra Yediyurappa visited waterlogging-affected areas in Bengaluru on May 20. Heavy rainfall caused severe waterlogging and flooding in residential areas. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for several areas across Karnataka, including Bengaluru. “Siddaramaiah government has become so insensitive. When the people are worst affected due to the rains from the last two days in Bengaluru, the state government is busy celebrating the completion of two years of the government. CM and the deputy CM keep talking about the greater Bengaluru, but keep talking about it, won't help. All the contractors' payments have stopped, and the work has also stopped...,” said Vijayendra Yediyurappa. “What is the celebration (on completion of two years of Congress govt in Karnataka) for? There has been no development at all in the last two years. DK Shivakumar says that even if God comes, Bengaluru can't be saved. Five people have died during this rainfall. What is this? The public is upset. Rainwater has entered people's houses, yet the government is not serious. This is the condition of the Congress party...When Rome caught fire, its king was sitting with a violin,” said Chalavadi Narayanaswamy. “Congress people are calling it Great Bengaluru, brand Bengaluru, but it has become bad Bengaluru now. 5 people have died today in Bengaluru and this is a shame that Congress is doing a rally...,” said R Ashoka.
