Kalaburagi: BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra has criticized the 17th budget presented by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, stating it does not support the state's development and has caused visible disappointment even within the ruling party. Speaking at a press conference in Kalaburagi, he launched a fierce attack on the state government and Minister Priyank Kharge.

Dissatisfaction Over the Budget

"The people of the state had high expectations for CM Siddaramaiah’s budget. However, this budget has completely shattered those hopes. It is anti-farmer and offers no contribution to the overall development of the state. Even within the Congress camp, there is a clear sense of dissatisfaction regarding this budget," Vijayendra remarked.

Injustice to Kalyana Karnataka: Jibe at Priyank Kharge

Addressing the development of the Kalyana Karnataka region, he took a direct aim at Minister Priyank Kharge. "Despite Minister Priyank Kharge's significant influence over Kalaburagi and the Kalyana Karnataka region, this area remains backward in terms of development. Priyank Kharge is always busy criticizing Prime Minister Modi and the Central Government instead of focusing on his responsibilities," he criticized.

Focus on the People, Not Global Issues

"The Minister should stop worrying about national or international issues and instead focus on the development of his own region. His priority should be to take developmental measures for the welfare of the people of Kalyana Karnataka," Vijayendra suggested.
