Bengaluru, June 17: Large and Medium Industries Minister MB Patil alleged on Sunday that the Central Government is causing injustice in the allocation of funds to progressive states like Karnataka, despite collecting a significant annual cess of ₹2.5 lakh crore.
In a post on “X,” Patil stated that although states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana contribute a larger share to the cess collection, they are not receiving a fair portion from the Centre. Instead, a larger share is being allocated to states like Uttara Pradesh and Bihar. Describing this as unquestionably unfair, he tagged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Stalin and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy in his post.
Patil warned that if this policy continues, states like Karnataka may have to file a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court to secure their rightful share.
