\u201cKarnataka government does not have funds to pay our Farmers affected by drought. Neither does it have funds for development or to fulfill its guarantees. But it has all the funds to fly the chief minister, his political secretary and housing minister in luxurious private jet. And that too to seek funds for drought relief from the central government And CM Siddaramaiah boasts that he is a \u2018Samaajavaadi\u2019. But Kannadigas can only see a \u2018Majaavaadi\u2019 here !\u201d the BJP leader wrote.
Meanwhile, the Congress which is completing 138 years of its foundation on December 28, recently launched the crowdfunding campaign \u2018Donate for Desh\u2019 ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The campaign aims at \u201cempowering the party to create an India rich in equal resource distribution and opportunities\u201d.
Speaking about the campaign, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that this is the first time that the grand old party is asking people for donations and cited Mahatma Gandhi, who also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle.
\u201cIt\u2019s the first time that Congress is asking people for donations for the nation\u2026 If you work only by depending on the rich people, then you have to follow their policies. Mahatma Gandhi also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle,\u201d said Kharge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
