Developmental works

Laying the foundation stone for various developmental works at an estimated cost of ₹62 crore in Chittapur taluk, Mr. Kharge reiterated his commitment towards the region and said that the Congress-led government has implemented the five guarantee schemes as promised in party’s manifesto during 2023 Assembly elections.

A sum of ₹1,000 crore has been allocated for the development of roads across Kalyana Karnataka region under Kalyana Patha programme.
