Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said a committee has been constituted by the Home Minister to examine the issue of lack of permission for a cricket match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. “Everything will be done as per the recommendations of the committee,” he added.

Speaking about the upcoming Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on December 27, Siddaramaiah clarified that only CWC members have been called to Delhi and that he is not among them.

Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stated his Delhi visit was solely to meet Union Ministers on state issues such as irrigation and urban development, dismissing any political agenda.

Shivakumar also criticised the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, terming it “the beginning of the end,” and said the new funding pattern, requiring 40% state contribution, would make the scheme unworkable for all states, including BJP-ruled ones.
