Union Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday blamed the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government for a three-month delay in submitting the drought report. Letters between the state and central government, however, suggested otherwise. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was quick to bust the “false narrative” that Shah tried to put forth. Karnataka has been seeking drought relief from the Centre for nearly seven months now.
