A Congress MLA in Karnataka has asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to cancel some election guarantees, flagging a lack of funds, which has left the state government red-faced. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has lambasted HR Gaviyappa, the MLA from Vijayanagara, over his public statement and said the party will issue him a show-cause notice.
Speaking at a recent event, Mr Gaviyappa had said that the election guarantees had made it difficult to provide houses to people.
"It has become difficult to provide houses to people due to guarantee schemes. I request the Chief Minister to cancel 2-3 guarantee schemes that are not needed, then at least we will be able to provide houses. The decision has been left to the chief minister. We will stand by his decision," the MLA had said.
