Arjun Singh interacted with the media after attending the Karnataka BJP Committee meeting today.
He said, "In Karnataka 52 lakh farmers are getting ₹10,000 in their accounts. Under 'Raitha Shakti Scheme' farmers are being provided additional amenities. The Railway budget for Karnataka is more than 7,500 crore."
"When the Congress government was there they did not work on giving people schemes, healthcare facilities and the construction of roads. We have provided 8 lakh houses under government schemes," Arjun Singh added.
