A high-level delegation from Karnataka led by Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy met Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday and sought a relief of Rs 1,199 crore for flood-hit seven districts of the state.
The delegation also apprised the prime minister of the prevailing drought-like situation in 17 of the total 30 districts in the state.
The delegation comprised former prime minister H D Deve Gowda, Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara, and ministers HD Revanna, R V Deshpande, D K Shivakumar and Krishna Byre Gowda.
BJP's Karnataka unit leaders were also invited to the meeting but they chose to give it a miss.
After the meeting, Kumaraswamy said, "We have told the prime minister that the floods in seven districts of the coastal and Malenadu region have not only affected crops but also infrastructure and human life. We have requested Rs 1,199 crore relief from the Centre."
