Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah calls for fair tax devolution amid state's disproportionate contributions.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah highlighted the state's unfair tax devolution during the 69th state formation day celebration. He noted that Karnataka contributes over ₹4 lakh crore in taxes but receives only ₹55,000 to ₹60,000 crore from the central government, equating to just 14-15% of its contributions. Siddaramaiah urged MPs to advocate for fair treatment in fund allocation and emphasized the importance of preserving the Kannada language amidst these challenges.
