“Industries Scared Of Investing In Karnataka”, FM Nirmala Sitharaman’s Big Attack

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has lashed out at the Congress-led Karnataka government for alleging that the central government has not allocated ample funds for the state. Addressing a press meet in Bengaluru, she also targeted the state government for not being able to control inflation, which she said is currently above the national average. The union finance minister also accused the Siddaramaiah government of raising different duties and charges in the state to fund its freebie schemes.
