The Congress on Monday accused the Modi government of withholding funds that should “rightfully” go to Karnataka, saying the people of the State were being made to pay the price just because they exercised their democratic right to elect a Congress government.
Congress general secretary in-charge, Communications, Jairam Ramesh alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was constantly trying to “throttle” the finances of India’s States.
His remarks came after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah alleged in a post on X that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was consistently denying the written word.
