Tejasvi Surya Questions Karnataka's Rs 600 Crore Minority Colonies Development Plan

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has criticized Karnataka's Rs 600 crore development plan for 'minority colonies,' alleging it promotes religious segregation and violates Articles 14 and 15 of the Constitution, which guarantee equality and prohibit discrimination based on religion. He questioned the constitutional basis for allocating funds exclusively to minority-designated areas and asked why similarly underdeveloped Hindu, Dalit, SC, ST, and OBC colonies are excluded. Surya indicated the cabinet decision may be legally challenged.
