Karnataka CM D.K. Shivakumar Completes 100 Days Amid Mixed Reviews
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar completed 100 days in office, marked by a mix of initiatives and challenges. His government decided to sing only the first two paragraphs of 'Vande Mataram' at functions, with full recitation when central leaders or the governor attend. Shivakumar made surprise visits to address farmer and laborer issues, receiving some praise. However, the opposition BJP criticized his tenure as chaotic, citing delays in development, alleged land controversies, and unmet drought relief. The government also announced long-term economic and infrastructure goals under Maha Sankalpa and Nava Sakalpa programs.
