Mysuru, Feb 3: Chief minister H D Kumaraswamy alleged that the Union governmentcheated people of Karnataka as none of the major demands of the state has been fulfilled in the Budget.

Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Kumaraswamy stated there are confusions regarding tax benefits announced in the Budget. “The people of the state elected 17 BJP MPs. They failed to bring any major projects to the state, including the commuter train to Bengaluru. Even though the state government had submitted a proposal in this regard, Piyush Goyal sidelined it,” he alleged.

The chief minister said that his Budget will announce the relaunch of Yashaswini health insurance scheme. The Yashaswini scheme was merged with Arogya Karnataka in August 2018.

“Prime Minister Modi is renaming projects launched by state governments. Arogya Karnataka scheme is renamed as Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka scheme. The state government reserved Rs 700 crore for the project while the central government is giving just Rs 200 crore. This is how Modi is misleading the people,” he said.

The chief minister said that the cancellation of Yashaswini scheme has upset people. Kumaraswamy added that the schemes announced in the interim Budget, including direct cash benefit to farmers, are of no use. “People will teach a lesson to the NDA government in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
