Karnataka Chief Minister Yediyurappa  

The prospect of three deputy CMs for Karnataka, will, in all likelihood, be a reality as the top brass, based on inputs from BL Santosh Kumar, has asked chief minister Yediyurappa to look into the issue seriously
 

Karnataka chief minister Yediyurappa said the Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'understood everything' and soon he will be sending a team for assessment of damage caused due to floods

The wait for Karnataka chief minister Yediyurappa’s new Cabinet will only get longer as he is preoccupied with flood-related activities and talk about the issue only on August 16 when he meets Union home minister Amit Shah to finalise the expansion

Kodagu floods proved to be disastrous for the district in 2018 and the then chief minister Kumaraswamy was seeking relief funds. But no efforts were made to prevent Karnataka from a flood like situation this time around.
