K’taka clears ₹600 cr for minority areas; BJP alleges ‘appeasement’

The Karnataka cabinet has cleared a 600 crore action plan for the development of minority colonies in the state along with other infrastructure and welfare schemes. The move has sparked accusations of appeasement from the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, which claims the ruling Congress is prioritizing minority interests over governance issues and other pressing concerns. The cabinet also announced support for high-speed rail corridors and a suburban project around Bengaluru.
