Overview

  • The Karnataka Congress government celebrated two years in office by distributing over 1.11 lakh land title deeds to families in previously undocumented habitations, now declared revenue villages.
  • Rahul Gandhi framed the initiative as part of Congress's welfare model, contrasting it with the BJP's approach, which he criticized for concentrating wealth among the elite.
  • Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced that 242 out of 593 election promises have been fulfilled and pledged to complete the remaining within three years.
  • The BJP accused the Congress of insensitivity for holding celebrations while Bengaluru faced severe flooding, which resulted in five deaths and widespread disruption.
  • The Congress government cited fiscal neglect by the Union government, claiming Karnataka receives only ₹14 for every ₹100 it contributes in taxes, undermining cooperative federalism.
