Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Siddaramaiah on Saturday expressed scepticism over Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai's ability to secure Karnataka's share of grants due from the Centre. Speaking to reporters here, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who had grown in politics in the BJP, was himself unable to secure the State’s dues. In such a situation, it is doubtful whether Mr. Bommai, who had joined the BJP from the Janata Dal, can do it. The Centre had not paid State’s GST dues totalling more than ₹11,300 crore, let alone grants for various works including rehabilitation for flood affected victims.More Related News
