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.

Well Done Dr. Zakir Naik. We had enough of this media misrepresenting the facts to please the people who are in power & spread the hate in common man, and help the fulfillment of the Hidden agenda of the corrupt politicians. Thanks for taking this great step. A peace loving man of any religion will support you...... Insha Allah Victory will be yours.
Please watch his team member junaid khan recent interview about his income and behavior with others
Even his conversion is well planned drama
This bussiness is much better than dargah bussiness
It is good that the media houses are being sued for defamation. Media should stop slandering and making false stories against people. Only when an FIR / case is registered, should they break the story.
This has been going on for such a long time and a stop has to be put. Arnab Goswami and his type have taken a beating out of this case. Even the government has lost a lot of credibility because of this case.
As per naik media aired his videos which are out of context to mislead the people!!!!!!
If so my question is then why zakir naik blind followers are urging other people to watch his videos in youtube if dey are out off context?...as per his followers if some1 converts to islam after watching his videos then its good for socity if he becomes terrorist den its out of context...hahaha

Well done.. WE ARE WIth U Dr. Zakir Naik...
People are Fooled since decades with manipulating the facts and presenting to the public...
Presenting news with suits and ties and make up doesnt make anybody Good and Trust worthy... We should look at who is behind it... there are many corporations who play with the minds of people... who lobby all this evil propagands even the cheddis have fallen to this category.
We should teach this decievers a lesson...
But ALLAH has power over all things... Those who know ALLAH, will never be in FEAR of any situation.. May ALLAH make us one of them.. it is the greatest blessing from the CREATOR of all the Exists.
Insha Allah, you will suceed Zakir Saab, These dogs like Arnab gooo sami, Naren should be taught a lesson for ever...... WELL DONE. WE WISH GOOD LUCK....
