BJP MLA vows to quit if decades old Sai Layout flooding persists

Bengaluru, May 21 (UNI) Amid mounting public anger over persistent waterlogging in Sai Layout, BJP MLA and former minister Byrathi Basavaraj on Wednesday said he would resign from the Karnataka Legislative Assembly if he failed to prevent flooding in the area by the coming monsoon.
The residents of Sai Layout, located in the KR Puram constituency, have been reeling under flooding for over a decade, with the latest bout of rains leaving the locality waterlogged for nearly four days. Roads were submerged and water entered homes, cutting off access and causing severe inconvenience.
An inspection of the affected area earlier this week by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath was conducted on a tractor due to the inundated roads.
