Dinesh Gundurao launches verbal attack on Bommai for silence on Karnataka's exclusion from budget
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai has come under fire from State Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao, who questioned Bommai's silence when Karnataka was not mentioned in the Union Budget. This criticism follows Bommai's remarks about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's alleged neglect of the state by not attending the Niti Aayog meeting.
In a post on social media platform 'X', Gundurao stated, "Despite the presence of 19 MPs and 5 Union Ministers, BJP-JDS leaders did not raise their voices about the injustice done to the state in the budget. The Modi government continues to do injustice to Karnataka. Without the strength to speak about it, it is ridiculous to complain that injustice has happened because of not attending the Neeti Ayog meeting."
Gundurao further explained that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's absence from the Niti Aayog meeting was a form of protest against the perceived budgetary injustice to Karnataka. He noted that other non-BJP ruled states, including Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, and Punjab, also boycotted the meeting in protest against the Centre's discriminatory policies.
"The boycott of the Niti Aayog meeting was against the discriminatory policy of the Centre and not because of any personal interest. Bommai, now an MP, should question the Modi government’s attitude towards Karnataka if he truly cares about the state," Gundurao added.

ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ @siddaramaiah ರವರು ನೀತಿ ಆಯೋಗದ ಸಭೆಗೆ ಹಾಜರಾಗದೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ಯಾಯ ಎಸಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಮಾಜಿ CM @BSBommai ಯವರು ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಈಗ ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕಾದ ಅನ್ಯಾಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತಾಡುವ ಬೊಮ್ಮಾಯಿಯವರು ಬಜೆಟ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪವೇ ಮಾಡದಿದ್ದಾಗ ಯಾವ ಬಿಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದರು.

Allahabad High Court directs Centre to decide on Rahul Gandhi's citizenship by December 19
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court has instructed the Union Home Ministry to decide on a petition regarding Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The Bench, led by Justice Attau Rahman Masoodi and Justice Subhash Vidyarthi, set a deadline of December 19, 2024, for the government to update the Court on the matter.
The petition, filed by S Vignesh Shishir, requests a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into allegations that Rahul Gandhi holds British citizenship. Shishir claims that evidence, including confidential emails shared by VSS Sarma, suggests Gandhi may be a British citizen. However, due to UK data protection laws, the British government has not disclosed full details without Gandhi's consent.
During the November 25 hearing, Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey informed the Court that the Home Ministry is reviewing the representation. The Court directed the government to report on the status of the petition by the next hearing on December 19.
A similar petition challenging Rahul Gandhi's citizenship is pending before the Delhi High Court, where the matter will be heard after the Allahabad High Court's proceedings.
