BENGALURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday slammed the Centre for "failing to control steep price rise", and hit out at the previous BJP government for "deteriorating" the state's economy.
"The Central government failed to control steep increase in the prices of essential commodities and fuel during 2022-23. The common man is severely distressed by the steep increase in prices," Siddaramaiah said in his Budget speech in the Legislative Assembly.
