Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah's inspection of flood-hit areas in the IT corridors of Bengaluru last week became a topic of amusing debate in the Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, with focus on the exact depth of the waters.
Mr. Siddaramaiah, who initiated a debate on rain havoc in the State, said Bengaluru city received 132 mm rain on September 4 and this caused flooding in residential layouts in Mahadevapura, and that he used a boat to visit Epsilon residential layout in Yemalur.
“I went to Yemalur in the Mahadevapura zone where CEOs and celebrities live. One needed a boat to go there,” Mr. Siddaramaiah said, referring to the upscale residential layout which was under water.
