Funds for Urdu: CM accuses BJP of spreading lies
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|May 28, 2025
CHIEF Minister Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of spreading a false narrative that the State Government was neglecting Kannada and giving more funds to Urdu. This is not just far from the truth, it is a deliberate attempt to create communal tension, the Chief Minister said.
Siddaramaiah said that for 2025-26, the State Government has allocated Rs 34,438 crore to the Department of Primary and Secondary Education and Rs 4,150 crore to schools under the Social Welfare and other departments. "A total of Rs 38,688 crore, all meant for Kannada-medium education. In addition, Rs 999.3 crore has been set aside to maintain government schools and improve infrastructure," he said, adding that all this money supports Kannada education. "So when BJP claims that only Rs 32 crore is given to Kannada, it is clearly a political lie meant to mislead the people," Siddaramaiah added.
