New Delhi: With tears in his eyes, Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa today blamed the dissidents for shifting focus from relief work to the politics as dissident Reddy brothers held out despite a reported compromise formula.

"I apologise to the flood victims. When they are facing so many problems, we should not not have wasted time on this crisis," he told Kannada channel Suvarna.

He said the people he trusted did not not support him. "I should have not not been distracted. I hope God will forgive me," the chief minister said.
