BJP-JDS mock Congress & criticize the budget.
- The Karnataka Congress government’s 2025 budget, criticized in the post, allocates significant funds for minority welfare, including ₹1,000 crore for minority development, ₹150 crore for Waqf protection, and ₹100 crore for Urdu schools, sparking political debate.
- The BJP has labeled this budget a “modern Muslim League Budget,” accusing the Congress of prioritizing Muslim community interests, such as increasing Imams’ salaries to ₹6,000 and funding self-defense training exclusively for minority girls.
- This controversy ties into broader political tensions in Karnataka, with the BJP citing historical references to Muhammad Ali Jinnah and alleging the budget undermines constitutional values of inclusivity.
