.@FinMinIndia @nsitharaman is repeating her strategy to manipulate public opinion by placing false narratives.

Her reasoning for not providing special grants of ₹5,495 Cr to Karnataka is totally unjustifiable.

This is an attempt to hide her mistakes.

15th finance commission had recommended ₹5,495 Cr to Ktaka as 'Special grants' to makeup the shortfall between untied transfers received in the form of tax devolution + revenue deficit grant in 2020-21 vs19-20.

@nsitharaman, being elected from Ktaka, rejected this.

#BJPExposed

Revised devolution by Central govt in 2020-21 was ₹20,053 Cr as compared budget estimates of ₹28,591 Cr & 15th FC 2020-21 estimates of 31,180 Cr.

This is all the more reason to pay Special Grants to Ktaka

@nsitharaman has confused Special Grants to revenue deficit grants.

.@BJP4Karnataka govt, in its revised estimates for 20-21, had projected revenue deficit of ₹19,485 Cr

Then how did @BSYBJP show revenue surplus only to @nsitharaman?

Even by revenue deficit logic of @nsitharaman, Ktaka was entitled for Special Grants of ₹5,495 Cr

#BJPExposed

Not just Special Grants, Karnataka was denied GST compensation as well.

@BSYBJP was forced to borrow to fill GST compensation gap. There were no protests by @BJP4Karnataka MPs or Yediyurappa.

This is how Karnataka's wealth was drained.

.@nsitharaman has blamed State tax for increased oil prices.

In reality, it is the excise duty levied by @BJP4India Centrl govt that has resulted in the rise oil prices

Excise duty on Diesel was increased frm ₹3.45 to ₹31.84 & that of petrol frm ₹9.21 to ₹32.98

#BJPExposed

It is such a disaster that @INCKarnataka in opposition has to defend our State from the onslaught by @BJP4India Central govt, while @BJP4Karnataka State leaders are sitting idle.

Sad that State BJP leaders have to take blame for both Centrl & their own govt failures
