Making an appeal to the people not to pay heed to the “misinformation campaign” that the State was facing fund scarcity for development works because of the five guarantee schemes, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that the financial position of Karnataka was stable.
Addressing a large gathering of farmers at the inauguration of the four-day Krishi Mela at University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) in Dharwad on Saturday, the Chief Minister sought to dispel the general belief about fund scarcity for development works.
“The anti-poor people and vested interests are making false allegations against the State government on the issue of implementation of five guarantee schemes and have launched a misinformation campaign. There is no fiscal problem and all development programmes will continue,” he said.
