Bengaluru, Mar 6: The Karnataka Congress on Thursday termed the budget for fiscal 2020-21 presented by the B.S. Yediyurappa government as the "weakest ever state budget".
"This is the weakest budget ever that our state has had. There is no clear cut provision in the budget for industrial growth or to generate jobs. No clarity on department wise allocation," tweeted Congress.
Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao said he did not expect such a bad budget which has discriminated on agriculture and education sectors.
"The state budget does not mention major irrigation projects like Kaveri valley and Krishna. No farmers loan waiver," noted Rao.
The opposition party has criticised the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that the potential of Karnataka was not realized to generate revenue through this budget.
Assailing the additional tax on petrol and diesel, Congress said the development will lead to price rise and is a huge disappointment.
"People are reeling under high inflation and reduction in income. BJP has rubbed salt into injury by further increasing prices and providing no relief to common man," said the party.
Bhalki MLA and Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president Eshwar Bhimanna Khandre pointed out that the Centre gave the state only Rs 1,869 crore, despite a loss of Rs 35,160 crore in 2019.
Calling stamp duty reduction for housing within Rs 20 lakhs as an insult to people, Congress questioned the Chief Minister and BJP to first show where in Bengaluru does one get housing within Rs 20 lakh.
"This is mockery of people. No mention or allotment to universal housing programme that Congress government had delivered," claimed Congress.
Focusing on Karnataka capital Bengaluru, Congress slammed the BJP saying no proper revenue policy has been mooted.
"Last mile connectivity issue not addressed. Drinking water issue is not mentioned. No mention of peripheral ring road. No mention of Akrama-Sakrama and no thought process has gone in while planning Bengaluru," tweeted the party.
The party said Yediyurappa has admitted that there is a financial crisis in his budget speech.
"He admits Rs 8,883 crore aid has been cut, around Rs 11,000 crore state share from Centre has been cut. No additional allocation for flood relief. What is stopping him and 25 members of Parliament to question the centre," observed Congress.
Former chief minister Siddaramaiah mocked Yediyurappa that though he calls himself a farmer''s son, he delivered an anti-farmer budget.
"No one will benefit from this budget. A complete failure to boost the economy, to realize inclusive development and to improve standard of living," he tweeted.

My dear Venki...I say that both are not same as u said.. Do u know why?
1. Sadhivi Prachi always gives her hate speech. Like kill them kick them out of India.. Salman khan amir khan.. oh khan yeh khan.. many more as u know...
2. Zakir naik says Islam is pure rest others are not a true.. He doesnt says throw, kick, kill etc etc.. If you have any doubts you check from google bhayya and make it clear.. so dont compare lion and dogs! Lion is lion and dogs are always dogs it will never become lion :D
Zakeer Naik has more Fans - Hindus, Christians than Muslims.
His Fans are mostly highly educated, intellectuals.
He never advocates hatreds, animosities. He says truth which are wrongly practiced not following their own respective scripts like Veda, Geethas.
His knowledge in Hindu scripts are more than any common Swamees, pandiths.
Dear venki,
Your statement shows how much innocent you are. How you can compare prachi with Zakir? Did Zakir hate any religion? he is comapring the religions. He is showing what is in hindu scripts mentioned and what you are practising. Example, in vedas it clearly mention that idol worship should not be done. How many of us worshipping Idol? Did Prachi talk about Veda any time? If you listen her speeches it is spitting venom.
He has working, serving the people even with his all wealth, without seeking any personnel benefit. He has been doing it at least last 30-35years as I know it.
It would have not taken this much time to find any irregular activity if he has been committing such.
If does not need much time to know any anti social activity.
He is very much openly operating his activities obeying all the norms.
He is more popular in Europe and US, other countries than in India.
For some people it is very much difficult to digest his popularity and his fair activities.
Unfortunately those Sanghi brothern or Sanghi sympathizers can understand that he is rescuing them from their unknown mistakes.
Whatever he is doing he is not seeking any worldly benefit.
He has a strong faith in God, his sincere efforts will be rewarded in the other permanent life (which will be after death).
Really every Indian should thank God Almighty for bestowing such sincere person.
May God help us to understand truth and Guide us.
Modi's U turn....
TRUTH PREVAILS AND FALSE WILL PERISH...ALHAMDULILLAH
ZAKIR NAIK BECOMES MORE POPULAR....IN'SHA ALLAH
CHADDIGALIGE BURNOOL BAGYA
It is UNIVERSAL truth that he is innocent and just focusing on ISLAM. May almighty bless with you good always.
It is really good news for Zakir Naik and his followers, I was sure he will come up clean as I follow him last 20 years he always support teaching of Allah and Hadees and prophet's teaching. He never criticize other religion but compares to Islam whenever there was Q&A session anybody asks the question. He respect other religion.
Best of luck ZN and continue your good work.
Where are the saffron mfs who were barking and somebody please shit in mouth......
what is the fate of that Lunatic and his associates who have been shouting from the rooftop 24x7.? Is his Time Now come to an END?
Whenever a genuine Muslim targeted almighty Allah saved them, this is enough to realize a mankind that Allah is only a creator of everything nothing else. So everybody should say in one word that \Allah Hu Akbar, La ilaha Illalah\""
