CM Siddaramaiah urges JD(S) to convince Modi-led Centre to provide drought relief in Karnataka

Welcoming the “Raitha Santwana Yatre” by the Janata Dal (Secular) to study drought conditions in the State, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said that the State will benefit if JD(S) shares the report with the Centre, and help take an all-party delegation to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi..

“I welcome the decision of the JD(S) to go on a drought study tour. This is the responsibility of a responsible opposition party. We will consider the drought report seriously. However, if the report is shared with the Centre, the State will also benefit,” the Chief Minister said in a post on social media.
