"The BJP without doing anything in the last four years has suddenly started claiming that they did everything," Siddaramaiah said.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed title deeds to nomadic Lambani (Banjara) tribes in Kalaburagi district, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah charged the ruling BJP in Karnataka with "feasting on the meals" prepared by the previous Congress government headed by him.
The senior Congress leader claimed that the BJP was trying to project that they were granting revenue village status to ‘Thandas' (this community's habitations), which was "misleading".
According to Bommai government, the move to distribute these deeds ('Hakku Patra') would benefit 52,072 nomads in five districts of north Karnataka, providing them a "permanent roof".
The fact, according to Siddaramaiah, was that the process to make Thandas as revenue villages was initiated during his government from 2013 to 2018.
