Congress MLA Priyank Kharge attacked the state government for dropping the Textile Park sanctioned to Kalaburagi district.
"All projects sanctioned to Hyderabad-Karnataka region are withdrawn," he said, seeking explanation on why the Centre asked the state to refund the Rs 1.85 crore it had sanctioned.
Responding to his query, Textiles Minister Shrimanth Patil said that he had met Union Minister Smriti Irani to review the project and allocate funds for it. "We will take measures to include the project in the new Textile policy," he added.
