Bengaluru, Mar 27: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “lying spree”, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy disputed former’s claim that the Karnataka government had not given details of beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.

In a tweet, Mr. Kumaraswamy said that Karnataka has given data of 9.9 lakh registered farmer beneficiaries to the Union government. To prove his point, he tagged the March 8 letter written by Agriculture Commissioner of Karnataka, Brijesh Kumar Dikshit, to Joint Secretary and CEO of PM-KISAN, Union Agriculture, Cooperation and Farmers’ Welfare Department, Vivek Aggarwal.

Informing him about the validation and uploading details of small and marginal farmers eligible to receive the benefits, the letter, however, states that only 17 beneficiaries have been approved and of them 6 have received the first instalment.

“There is lot of anxiety among the applicant eligible farmers regarding when they would receive the first instalment. All payments in case of Karnataka are Aadhaar-based, thereby requiring no checking/verification of bank account number and IFSC code,” the letter said.

While Mr. Kumaraswamy mentions that 9.9 lakh farmers’ data has been given, the letter to the Centre, however, mentions that 3,10,967 lakh small and marginal farmers have been validated.

The letter has also requested the Union Agriculture Department to take up the matter of non receipt of the first instalment under PM-KISAN by eligible farmers of Karnataka and get their accounts credited with the same at the earliest.

Bengaluru, Mar 5: At 11 am on Friday, Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa will present the State Budget for the 2020-2021 fiscal. Coming at a time when the state is facing financial challenges, the budget is expected to have minor tax shocks for citizens, while making space for big-ticket allocations to the agriculture and water resources ministries. Thursday's budget will be Yediyurappa’s seventh.

“Agriculture is our primary focus. The recent gazette notification of the Mahadayi tribunal order is a welcome move for Karnataka and we will make budgetary allocations for this too,” the CM had said.

The cut back in devolution of funds for Karnataka from the divisible pool, trimming of funds from the Union Government for Centrally-sponsored schemes and tax collections falling short of revenue targets have made matters tough for Yediyurappa. The consolation may be the part payment of one installment of GST compensation from the Centre. The GST compensation, in part for the October-November period, was released to the state in time for tabling of the budget.
