Raghu Kautilya, BJP MLC and State president of the party’s OBC Morcha, on Saturday (October 3) alleged that the Congress government in Karnataka was neglecting backward communities by allocating inadequate funds to development corporations meant for their welfare.

Addressing a press conference at the Kalyana Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KKCCI) in Kalaburagi, Mr. Kautilya said that Congress leaders often claimed that their government was committed to the development of backward communities, but the allocations made in the 2026-27 Budget did not support the claim.
