Terming the meeting of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a good development, the former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said that the BJP leaders from the State are making efforts to get the necessary funds released from the Centre.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Tuesday, Mr. Bommai said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been considerate about such issues and he will consider the request from the State.
Mr. Bommai, however, did not agree with the statement by the Chief Minister about no grant being released from the Centre terming it as only a political statement.
