The Bharatiya Janata Party criticised the Karnataka state administration, saying its handling of finances has led to a cash crunch and pointing to alleged mismanagement.
BJP leaders on Monday launched a fresh attack on the Karnataka government, alleging that the state’s finances are under severe strain because of poor management. The party said delayed payments to contractors, pensioners and suppliers have created a cash crunch that is affecting public services.
In a statement, the BJP claimed that the ruling administration has failed to implement corrective measures, resulting in a widening fiscal gap. It warned that continued mismanagement could jeopardise development projects and erode public confidence.
The Karnataka government has not issued an official response to the accusations as of press time. Analysts note that the criticism comes ahead of the upcoming state elections, where financial performance is likely to be a key issue.
Political observers say the BJP’s remarks aim to pressure the incumbent government and position the party as a responsible alternative on economic governance.
