BJP’s vote-bank states Uttar Pradesh and Bihar get ₹18,000 cr and ₹10,000 cr respectively, while Karnataka is left with a mere ₹3,700 crore.
All five southern states put together get less than Uttar Pradesh.
Karnataka alone contributed ~₹1.6 lakh crore in GST in FY 2024–25, and ~₹1.9–2.2 lakh crore in direct and corporate taxes, yet the Centre shortchanges us.
For every ₹100 Karnataka sends to Delhi, we get back ₹12, while UP gets ₹295 back & Bihar gets ₹770 back.
We are the state that creates maximum jobs, absorbs the highest number of migrants, leads in IT/ITeS exports and powering the nation’s growth, yet we are being starved of funds by the Centre.
Why is
@BJP4Karnataka silent now? Instead of Dharmasthala Chalo, they should do a Delhi Chalo.
