"In August, re were floods in Karnataka, PM Modi didn't visit state n. People faced many hardships and are still suffering. He tweets for smallest things and could have at least tweeted in solidarity with people in Karnataka who were reeling under worst floods in over a century but he didn't do that n. loss caused by floods as per my kwledge is over Rs 1 lakh crore. After three months, y've just give 1200 crores", he said. 

This came a day after chief minister BS Yediyurappa too me an appeal to PM Modi in Tumakuru, on st, to release funds for relief programs. ‘700 vills inundated by Karnataka 's worse flood in 115 years which caused Rs 30,000 crores of loss. Houses h collapsed, ros were submerged and people faced many problems. I have brought this to PM Modi's attention alrey and sought his help 3-4 times. But so far we have t received much in terms of compensation. I fold my hands and request for more funds’. 

Siddaramiah even confronted Yediyurappa and repeated his earlier stated taunt of him being 'weakest CM in history of state.’ "That's why I call Yediyurappa weak CM. Yesterday he said we have got compensation for flood relief and claimed that we have asked for Rs 36,000 crore as compensation fund from Centre but has received less than Rs 1,500 crores. As Prime Minister, he should at least dress this issue seriously. This shows how much neglect and disgust he has towards Karnataka and its people".

former CM also alleged that PM Modi is trying to dislodge Yediyurappa and earn him a ‘b name’ which is why he is t even giving Karnataka chief minister an appointment to meet with him and discuss issues of state. ‘He h said if BJP is in power at centre and state doors of fortune of state will be opened. People trusted him and gave 25 seats in Lok Sabha polls. But w he doesn't even open doors of his house to his party leers’.
