Congress spokesperson Randip Surjewala on February 16 addressed the media in Bengaluru and criticised Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister of Karnataka for the Karnataka State Budget 2023.While addressing the conference, he said, “Basavaraj Bommai and his party made numerous commitments for Karnataka’s growth, but they have not kept them. The majority of his pledges were merely empty words on paper. I’m going to ask the Chief Minister ten questions, and I want him to respond to all of them. Lies, lies, lies—Basavaraj Bommai is the name.”
