Addressing the mediapersons here, Mr Bommai said that meeting P Chidambaram in jail who is being investigated in a graft case related to INX media and is accused of enabling a huge infusion of foreign funds into the company is wrong in every way for president of a national party like Congress no matter if he was a party member.

This shows how Congress party works and what is their ideology, he added.

On questioning about Centre Flood relief fund, Mr Bommai said the Centre has assured that a decision on providing assistance from the National Disaster Relief Fund (NDRF) will be taken after a central team, which is assessing the extent of damage in the state, submits its report in the next two-three days.
