With the floods in the city receiving international media attention, the Bharatiya Janata Party sought to “correct” the narrative on Tuesday. Even as they clarified that only a small part of the city was flooded, the government blamed previous governments led by Opposition parties for the state of affairs.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai blamed the Opposition Congress for the situation and said, “The maladministration and granting of permission for construction of buildings on the encroached lands by the previous Congress government is the major reason for flooding of the city areas.”
