Siddaramaiah expressed his disappointment with the Union Government for allocating only Rs 6,498 crore of tax share to Karnataka, while Uttar Pradesh received over Rs 31,000 crore. This stark difference in allocation has raised concerns about the equitable distribution of resources among states.
This disparity in funding highlights the need for a more balanced approach to resource allocation, ensuring that states receive their fair share of tax revenue from the Central Government. Siddaramaiah’s remarks bring attention to the challenges faced by Karnataka in obtaining adequate financial support for its development projects.
It remains to be seen if the government will address these concerns and work towards a more equitable distribution of resources among states in the future.
