Bengaluru: Karnataka’s Minister for Large and Medium Industries M.B. Patil said on Saturday that the Union government’s Budget is “highly disappointing”, adding that no special package has been announced for the development of north Karnataka. The expectation that AIIMS would finally be sanctioned for north Karnataka this time has also turned out to be futile, Patil added. “In summary, this is yet another “anti-people” Budget, the Minister said while criticising the Union Budget presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday. ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರಕಾರದ ಈ ಬಾರಿಯ ಬಜೆಟ್ ನಿರಾಶಾದಾಯಕ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಕಡೆಗಣನೆ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಮಧ್ಯಮ ವರ್ಗದ ಆದಾಯ ತೆರಿಗೆದಾರರಿಗೆ ನಿರಾಳತೆ ತಂದುಕೊಡುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆ ಈ ಬಜೆಟ್ ಭಾಸವಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆದರೆ, ವಾಸ್ತವದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. 12 ಲಕ್ಷ ರೂಪಾಯಿ ವರೆಗೆ ತೆರಿಗೆ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ ಅಂದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಒಂದು ರೂಪಾಯಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನ ಆದಾಯ ಬಂದರೂ ಈ ವಿನಾಯಿತಿ… pic.twitter.com/Mjpe5mHURu — M B Patil (@MBPatil) February 1, 2025 “Union Finance Minister Sitharaman has introduced eye-catching strategies that appear ...

Mysuru : Criticising the Union Budget 2025, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah dubbed it as a disappointing one, detrimental to the state’s welfare. “Not a single demand we raised in the pre-budget meeting was fulfilled. Karnataka, one of the highest tax-paying states, received nothing in the Budget,” he claimed. Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, CM Siddaramaiah said that the Central government continues to neglect Karnataka’s interests. “Despite farmers’ protests, the Budget did not even mention MSP (Minimum Support Price), which is a great betrayal to the farming community,” he said. Siddaramaiah further challenged BJP and JD-S Parliamentarians and Union Ministers to question Prime Minister Narendra Modi on why Karnataka was ignored. “Every state except Andhra Pradesh and Bihar was neglected… despite the BJP-JD-S alliance, Karnataka was still sidelined,” he said. Siddaramaiah said that “the BJP is taking revenge on states that oppose Manusmriti and uphold Constitutio...
