Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has sought to know from the former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa whether it is wrong to oppose what he calls injustice meted out to the State by the Centre.
Speaking to presspersons in Harihar of Davangere district on Friday, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that when Mr. Yediyurappa was the Chief Minister of the State, he did not raise his voice against the Central government.
“Out of every hundred rupees that goes to the Centre as tax from the State, we get only ₹13. While the tax collection from the State is ₹4,30,000 crore, we are getting back only ₹50,257 crore. We are opposing this stepmotherly treatment of the Centre,” he said.
