Priyank Kharge, Congress MLA, on Saturday alleged that Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had announced many proposals in the State Budget but there was no clarity on allocation of funds to implement them.
At a press conference here, Mr. Kharge said there was no blueprint on ensuring the three “Es’‘ — education, employment, and empowerment — to all in the State. The State has a Department for Employment and Training, but more than 50% of the posts were vacant in the department, he pointed out. Of the sanctioned posts of 6,187, as many as 3,643 have remained vacant. “How can a department give jobs to others when it is not able to fill its own vacancies?” asked Mr. Kharge.
