State rankings: BJP, JD(S) fight for credit

Bengaluru, Dec 28: Shortly after the central government announced state rankings on Thursday, placing Karnataka third on the Good Governance Index (GGI), BJP and JD(S) engaged in a brief credit war on Twitter.

Both claimed Karnataka's ranking was the positive outcome of the work done by their respective administrations.

Chief minister BS Yediyurappa wasted no time to associate his government with the top three finish, tweeting: "In maintaining fiscal discipline Karnataka is number one. In good governance too, the state gets third rank. The GGI ranking prepared by the Centre on 50 indicators is an inspiration for us to give good governance."

Kannada and culture minister CT Ravi praised the chief minister. "Karnataka has got a top rank in GCI. I congratulate @BSYBJP for this achievement," he tweeted.

JD(S) claimed the rankings reflected the efforts made by the previous Congress-JD(S) coalition government headed by HD Kumaraswamy. It accused BJP of grabbing recognition for someone else's work.

"This 'disqualified' government is shamefully claiming credit by trying to portray HD Kumaraswamy-led coalition government's achievements as its own," JD(S) tweeted. It used the word "disqualified" to refer to disqualified Congress-JD(S) legislators who are now a part of BJP. Most of them won in the December 5 bypolls.

"For those who stole opposition party MLAs, stealing other's achievements is not a big deal," JD(S) wrote.

The Union department of administrative reforms and grievances and the Centre for Good Governance released the state rankings on Thursday. Karnataka bagged the first spot for economic governance. Tamil Nadu, which secured an overall score of 5.62 in the 10-sector index, was the top performer in creation of public infrastructure and delivery of justice and providing public security. Karnataka's overall score stood at 5.1.
