Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has launched a sharp critique against fellow party member D K Shivakumar. He accuses Shivakumar of neglecting the development needs of the Kalyana Karnataka region.
Kharge's Direct Challenge on Regional Equity
In pointed remarks, Kharge highlighted what he sees as a significant imbalance. He stated that the people of Kalyana Karnataka are not asking for extravagant development. They do not seek to emulate global cities like London or Singapore. They are not demanding a standard of living comparable to America.
A Simple Demand for Fairness
Instead, Kharge presented a more modest request. He argued that the region merely seeks a fair share of progress. "All we want is at least 75% of the development your constituency or Mysuru has seen. That's enough for us," Kharge asserted. This statement directly contrasts the perceived advancement in Shivakumar's area and the historic city of Mysuru with the situation in Kalyana Karnataka.
The comments underscore ongoing internal discussions within the Congress party in Karnataka. They focus on the equitable distribution of resources and development projects across the state's diverse regions. Kharge's public taunt brings this issue into the open, applying pressure for a more balanced approach to state planning and investment.
