- Siddaramaiah forms committee to implement E-Khata taxation campaign
"Regarding the E-Khata campaign, a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Eshwar Khandre. After the committee submitted its report, a law was introduced. According to that law, we have provided many benefits, including revenue expansion and site houses. However, they do not pay taxes to the government. Therefore, I have directed the launch of the B-Khata campaign," Siddaramaiah stated.
Shifting focus to internal party matters, Siddaramaiah refrained from commenting on the ongoing discussions about Congress' power-sharing arrangement in Karnataka.
"Regarding the CM power-sharing, KPCC changes, and the mutual statements of K. N. Rajanna and DK Shivakumar, I will not comment on controversial matters. The Deputy CM, DK Shivakumar, and Minister Rajanna have shared their views. Regarding the power-sharing formula, how many times do I need to say this? It is a matter for the high command to decide. We will follow their decision," he added.
