On Tuesday night, Chief Minister Basvaraj Bommai visited some of the flooded areas to take stock of the situation.
Bommai on Tuesday morning had blamed the “maladministration and totally unplanned administration” of the previous Congress government for the floods in Bengaluru. “They never thought of maintaining the lakes,” the chief minister told reporters. “They gave permission right, left and centre in the lakes and buffer zone.”
However, the Congress hit back, blaming the Bharatiya Janata Party government for the situation in Bengaluru.
“If there were encroachments during the Congress tenure, let them clear it, they had earlier got five years’ time, they had now got five years, they should have done it,” Congress state chief DK Shivakumar said. “Not performing while in power and blaming previous Congress governments instead is not right.”
