BJP state president and MP Nalin Kumar Kateel lashed out at former chief minister Siddaramaiah for criticising the economic relief package announced by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.
He said that the package, announced by the government, provides relief to different sections of the society. It is not right on the part of Siddaramaiah, who has served as a chief minister in the past, to criticise without any basis, he remarked.
“It is surprising that the former chief minister has no knowledge as to how much a farmer spends to cultivate flowers. Siddaramaiah’s statement that farmers spend
Rs 50 lakh per acre shows his lack of knowledge,” Kateel said.
