The Congress in Karnataka will stage a demonstration at Belagavi on September 23 against the 'indifferent' attitude of the BJP government in the state, as well as the centre, towards providing relief for the flood victims, a senior Congress leader said.
"We are going to stage a mega protest in Belagavi on Tuesday. The Centre has betrayed Karnataka," state Congress president Dinesh Gundu Rao said here.
He warned that Congress would hold state-wide demonstrations if the Centre did not release funds for the flood victims.
As many as 22 districts in Karnataka were hit by floods last month following torrential rains.
Almost all the rivers of North Karnataka and coastal regions were in spate, inundating large swathes of land.
More than 80 people lost their lives and about 1.5 lakh houses were destroyed
