As Karnataka is set to celebrate the golden jubilee of renaming the State on November 1, Chief Minister Siddaramiah accused the Central government of neglecting the State by denying funds for undertaking infrastructure projects and drought relief work.
‘Neglect of 9.5 years’
“This year marks a significant milestone for Karnataka, as we celebrate 50 years since our beloved State was renamed. Kannada Rajyotsava on November 1 should be a time of joy, pride, and collective celebration. However, the shadow of neglect and indifference cast by the Central government over the last 9.5 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership dims our festive spirit,” Mr. Siddaramaiah said in a release.
