Why did Congress deprive people of Karnataka the 14th FC funds? Is that the question? The ignorance displayed by the BJP & it’s President the #ShahOfLies is deliberate.

I have explained this several times but the BJP keeps repeating the lie. For truth please follow the thread👇
Devolution of central funds to states is a constitutional duty of the center & the funds are a right of all states. Finance Commissions decide formula for fund sharing & the states get the funds. It is not a gift of UPA or NDA. This has been the practice since 1950.
These funds are not a special grant to Karnataka. All states receive it. Funds so received go into our state budget. I have presented 5 budgets with a total outlay of about 9,00,000 crores. This outlay is funded by FC grants, own tax revenue & borrowing.
Where did the money go? The answer is it went into irrigation, schools, hospitals, roads & highways, railway lines, crop insurance, farm loan waiver & the list goes on. Account for every rupee is presented before the legislature. The leader of Opposition Jagdeesh Shettar is aware
Was the Karnataka BJP sleeping for 5 years? Did they sleep through the 15 Legislature sessions where all these accounts were presented, debated & approved? So, please stop fooling the people. Repeating a lie does not make it true.
You are not only insulting the people of Karnataka by these silly question you are insulting your leaders of opposition in two houses Shri Jagdeesh Shettar & Shr K.S. Eshwarappa. What you are saying they didn’t do their job asking for these accounts.
About increase from 88583cr to 219506cr, you are comparing 2 different periods. Due to inflation & tax growth,revenues rise by 10-15% every year. Plus devolution % was changed from 32 to 42%. But center reduced its share of central schemes. So, it is an apple to orange comparison
