Overview
- On Thursday, September 10, the Shivakumar government held a scaled-down 100-day programme at Vidhana Soudha that was inaugurated by former chief minister Siddaramaiah and presided over by D.K. Shivakumar.
- Shivakumar launched digital platforms such as Seva One, the BMTC 2.0 and One Karnataka Mobility apps and signed orders to distribute five lakh rural housing sites to landless families.
- The government reaffirmed the five guarantee schemes and presented cumulative benefit figures of about Rs 1.45 lakh crore while reporting investment approvals of roughly Rs 43,000 crore and initiation of recruitment for about 72,000 posts.
- Senior Congress leaders publicly backed the agenda and urged delivery on promises and drought relief, while BJP state president B.Y. Vijayendra and other opposition figures labeled the 100 days a publicity exercise with no real achievements.
- Officials warned implementation faces near-term risks from widespread drought, pending legal clearances for projects such as Mekedatu and Bidadi, and internal party management issues that could slow rollout of the announced programs.
