A day after four people were killed and several parts of Bengaluru were flooded, senior BJP leaders hit the streets, taking stock of the situation.
The ruling Congress has been largely absent on the ground ever since the heavy rains began, and the opposition BJP used this opportunity to score political points from the rain damage and floods.
With assembly elections a few months away, Congress began its political campaign by demanding a separate state flag, pushing Kannada first policies, and offering religious status for the Lingayat community.
