Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced the launch of a Public Relations Campaign (PRC) aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Supreme Court of India regarding the state's recent policy decisions.
The campaign, scheduled to begin next week, will focus on transparent communication with citizens and stakeholders, and is expected to clarify the government's stance on the issues highlighted by the court.
However, Minister Joshi has expressed doubts about the timing and intent of the PRC, suggesting that the initiative may be a response to political pressure rather than a genuine effort to improve public outreach.
Shivakumar defended the move, stating that the campaign is part of a broader strategy to strengthen governance and accountability in Karnataka.
The government will monitor the campaign's impact and adjust its approach based on feedback from the public and legal experts.
