JD(S) leader and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Saturday chastised BJP leaders and Ministers for keeping themselves busy with Jan Swaraj Yatra at a time w hen the State was reeling under floods and farmers were in distress. He also said there was no coordination between the Government and officials on flood management.

Mr. Kumaraswamy, in a series of tweets on Saturday, described the devastation of standing and harvested crops caused by floods and sought to know where all the district in-charge Ministers were in such a situation. He said they were busy “boasting about their achievements” ahead of the Legislative Council elections instead of visiting flood-hit areas.

“The Chief Minister during his videoconference on floods has asked officials to visit flood-hit areas but not his Ministers. Ministers are not going to the flood-hit people and there is no coordination between officials and the Government,” he said.
