Nepal floods: Mallikarjun Kharge seeks Centre’s intervention for victims, dismisses State cabinet reshuffle talk
The veteran leader said he would write a formal letter to PM Modi seeking his intervention for comprehensive compensation and assistance measures for affected families.
Nepal has been devastated by severe flooding and flash floods, prompting All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge to urgently request Union Government intervention for stranded tourists and pilgrims from India, particularly those from Karnataka. At a press conference in Kalaburagi Airport, Kharge promised to submit a formal letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for comprehensive compensation and relief measures for affected families.
The catastrophic floods have tragically claimed hundreds of lives, left many missing, and caused widespread destruction across Nepal. Kharge expressed deep sorrow for the loss of life and extended his condolences to the families of the deceased. He emphasized the strong bilateral ties between India and Nepal, urging the Indian government to provide significant relief aid for search and rescue operations, as well as rehabilitation efforts in Nepal.
When asked about potential political developments in Karnataka, Kharge firmly dismissed rumors of a cabinet reshuffle, clarifying that such decisions would only be made with the central leadership's consultation. He stated that he had not received any proposals for changes in the cabinet composition.
