BENGALURU – The Congress has accused the BJP government of ignoring the spread of forest fires in Karnataka and giving importance to the election campaign and getting 40 percent commission.
The Congress yesterday said on Twitter:
Forest fires are increasing day by day in various parts of the state. The forest staff who are working to control the fire, are fighting without weapons and the situation is dire. The government does not care about the hardships of the forest properties, wild animals, birds and people adjacent to the forest.
Election campaigning and getting 40 percent commission has become important for Chief Minister Basavaraj Pupami. Why did the Chief Minister get involved in the election campaign instead of running the government?
Helicopters are used to control forest fires. In getting a helicopter, the help of the central government should be sought. The Chief Minister does not have to go to Delhi for this.
Prime Minister Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are coming to Karnataka for election campaign.
Talk to them and get helicopter facility to control forest fire.
It says so.
