Karnataka CM Attributes Finance Department Advisory to Previous BJP Government's Budget Issues

Responding to allegations of commission demands, Shivakumar called for formal complaints to initiate investigations. He also addressed concerns about caste certificate requirements during Gruha Lakshmi scheme re-verification, citing measures to ensure eligibility of local beneficiaries.
