Disputing the recent statement of Union Home Minister Amit Shah that the Karnataka government submitted its proposal seeking drought relief three months late, leading to a delay in providing relief to the State, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda has asserted that it was done well in time.
He countered Mr. Shah’s claim with documents on Saturday in a public debate on ‘Has Karnataka been meted out injustice by the Union government?’ organised by Jagruta Karnataka, a civil society group, where Mr. Gowda was supposed to face off with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. However, Ms. Sitharaman did not turn up for the event.
