If there is injustice in Budget, let it be discussed: CM
Bengaluru, July 06: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy claimed that he presented the budget keeping in mind the comprehensive development of the state and if any district and community was neglected, let it be discussed in the Session.
Speaking to reporters after offering floral tributes to the bust of Babu Jagjivan Ram as part of the latter’s 32nd death anniversary, at Vidhana Soudha in the city on Friday, the Chief Minister said that didn’t they notice the hike in petroleum products by the central government? He has not neglected the coastal region. Previous government had given priority to that region and Rs 150 crore was reserved for finding solutions to fishermen. In North Karnataka, funds were reserved for creating clusters. This budget was not restricted to any of the few districts, he said.
“I have announced that I would continue all the programmes of the previous Congress government. Even then, BJP leaders are making hue and cry and I cannot do anything. If they raise the issue in the Session, I can give answer”, he said.
Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar, Social Welfare Minister Priyanka Kharge, BBMP Mayor Sampath Raj, Social Welfare department Secretary M Lakshminarayan, Commissioner Vikas Kumar and others were present.
