Mangaluru: The Congress government in the State has failed to utilize various funds released by the Central government, alleged BJP’s state spokesperson Sudesh Sharma.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Sharma said that the State government did not submit the account details about the fund of Rs. 1000 crore that was given to the Minorities Development Corporation.

“The Central government has given funds for various fields including education field, but the State government has failed to make fund reach the needy,” he regretted.

Sharma said “the Yeddyurappa government had given the fund of Rs 910 crore to the Minorities Development Corporation, which had the fund of Rs. 22 crore. Haj Bhavan was constructed at the cost of Rs. 50 crore. But the Congress government in the State is just assuring false promises to the minorities here.”  

Sharma further asserted that the BJP will come to power with the majority of seats in the state.
