Kharge added that the guarantee schemes are in no way coming in the way of providing infrastructure to IT companies and ensuring development. The economic crisis is created by the pathetic economic policy of the Central government, he said.

“We are yet to receive the GST balance. Karnataka is getting Rs 18 for every Rs 100 given to the Union government, whereas north Indian states like Uttar Pradesh are getting Rs 120 and Rs 180. The Karnataka BJP unit must clarify whether they want guarantee schemes or not,” he added.
