According to a release by the party, the team led by Mr. Vijayendra comprises eight members including Leader of the Opposition in the Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, former Deputy Chief Minister Govind Karjol, former Union Minister Bhagavanth Khuba, and former Minister B. Sriramulu. They will visit Raichur, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, and Bidar.
The other team comprises 10 members, including former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Arvind Bellad, and former Ministers C.T. Ravi and Shashikala Jolle. This team will visit Belagavi. Bagalkot, and Vijayapura.
Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru, Mr. Vijayendra accused the Congress government of doing injustice to flood victims, by not taking any concrete measures to help them.
