(MENAFN- IANS) Bengaluru, Dec 22 (IANS) Karnataka BJP on Friday criticised the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for travelling in a private jet while the state is facing a drought-like situation.

“People of the state are under severe economic crisis due to the drought situation. Even six months after the Congress government came to power, not a single effort has been made to address the pothole issue,” BJP Karnataka wrote on X.

“But, there seems to be no end to the show-off of grandeur by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and his close associate Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmad Khan,” the BJP said.
