Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines, Pralhad Joshi has said that in order to cover up its inability to fulfil the five guarantees, the Congress is now blaming the Union government for lack of funds.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Sunday, Mr. Joshi said that instead of fulfilling its five guarantees, the Congress is now saying that the Union government has not released the rightful share of funds to the State.
“In the run-up to the Assembly elections, the Congress gave five guarantees to the electorate. But, now, after coming to power, it lacks the interest to fulfil them. That is the reason why Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is saying that the government has given in-principle approval and that the Centre has not released adequate funds to the State,” he said.
