Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday accused the BJP leadership and the Union government of “betraying” the interests of seven crore Kannadigas by denying them their due share of funds to take up drought relief measures.
He also lashed out at Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman who was in Mysuru recently and had refuted Mr. Siddaramaiah’s claims that Karnataka was not receiving its due share of tax or that there was no equity in tax devolution.
