Minister for Cooperation K.N. Rajanna has criticised those commenting on the socio-economic survey conducted by the Karantaka State Backward Classes Commission well before the report was accepted by the State government.
At a press conference in Hassan on Tuesday, Mr. Rajanna said the report had been prepared scientifically by the commission. Around ₹200 crore had been spent for the survey. “The report is not yet released. Nobody knows what it contains. How can someone comment on the report without having seen it?” he questioned.
The Minister clarified that there was no reason to believe that the report would be implemented once it was released. “The report will be shared with all. When it becomes a public document, anyone can comment. And comments in favour and against the report are quite common,” he said.
