Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday chose not to disclose what he would speak about with Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he arrives in Bengaluru on Friday to inaugurate the Namma Metro’s Pink Line.

“I cannot disclose what I will speak about,” he told mediapersons, adding, “Definitely, we will make a sincere appeal to the Prime Minister regarding drought relief.” The Karnataka government is waiting for an appointment with the Prime Minister to take a delegation to him seeking drought relief.

Mr. Shivakumar reiterated that he had already sought an appointment. “I have sought his time to personally meet him and discuss various issues. He has invited me to Delhi,” the Chief Minister said.
