Bengaluru: Siddaramaiah says HDK budget will be supplementary, not full-fledged

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Queering the pitch on the plans of JD(S)-Congress coalition government’s Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, who is also holding the finance portfolio, to present the new government’s budget next month, the former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who is also the chairman of the coordination committee of the two parties, said the "forthcoming budget will not be a full-fledged one but only a supplementary budget."

Siddaramaiah, who spoke to reporters in Bengaluru on Saturday, said the 13th state budget presented by the outgoing government on February 16 was a regular full-fledged budget and that the previous government bad only sought a vote on account for three months in view of the assembly elections.

The JD(S)-Congress coordination committee’s chairman said his party was a major partner in the present government and as the coalition government would continue the programmes of the previous Congress government as well, which were mentioned in his last budget for 2018-19, Kumraswamy could add new programmes in the supplementary budget.

Provision of free buses for students and free girl education were some of the proposals mentioned in the State budget of the Congress, he said.

The Kumaraswamy Cabinet would be expanded after appointment of chiefs to various government-owned boards and corporations.

Asked about the writing off farm loan, he said the issue would be discussed first in the co-ordination committee meeting.
