Karnataka was once on the path of growth and development with a surplus bduget in 2023. Then came the Congress government in 2024, led by CM Siddaramaiah, with its grand “freebie” schemes. In 2025, the state is drowning in debt while common citizens struggle to afford necessities. The Karnataka Congress sold dreams to Hindus and infected the state with the “Kannada Supremacy” virus. Thereafter, it looted resources and handed taxpayers’ money on a silver platter – to one “peaceful” community. Is it a wonder that the new budget reads like a Halal Budget?
Karnataka Halal Budget – Appeasement Politics Over Public Welfare
BIG!
KARNATAKA CONGRESS PASSES THE BUDGET WHICH IS A MODERN "MUZLIM LEAGUE BUDGET"
– 150 CRORE TO WAQF PROTECTION
– 1000 CRORE TO MINORITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM– SALARIES OF IMAM INCREASED TO 6000
– SELF DEFENSE ONLY FOR MINORITY GIRLS
– 100 CRORE FOR URDU MEDIUM SCHOOL

Siddaramaiah’s 2025 Karnataka Budget reads like a manifesto for selective “peaceful” appeasement. While roads crumble, industries suffer, and the general population is subject to Tanker Mafia – the government showers funds on religious favoritism. Here’s the list of ‘priorities’ Congress set for Karnataka:
- ₹50,000 for Muslim ‘simple marriages’ – Because taxpayers should fund weddings, right?
- Reservation for Muslim contractors in State Contracts!
- Salaries for Imams but none for Pujaris!
- ₹150 crore for Waqf properties & graveyards – Infrastructure for the dead, while the living cry for better hospitals and roads.
- ₹50 lakh for Muslim cultural programs – Apparently, cultural identity matters more than economic growth.
- A new ITI college in Muslim-dominated areas – No development for backward or rural Karnataka, only colleges where the “CON-Party” vote banks exist.
- 50% fee concession for Muslim students under KEA – Equal opportunity? Not if you belong to the ‘wrong’ community.
- A residential PU college for Muslim girls in Ullal town – No such initiatives for Hindu, Dalit, or tribal students.
- Increased National & Foreign Scholarships for Muslim students – Scholarships for higher education now completely favor faith, not merit.
- Expansion of Bengaluru’s Haj Bhavan – More luxury for “peaceful” pilgrims from tax-payers money. Meanwhile, Bengaluru’s traffic woes and crumbling infrastructure remain ignored.
Comparing CONgress Appeasement – 2025 vs 2024
Scam CM @siddaramaiah in Karnataka presents a Halal Budget—appeasement at its peak!

The 2024 Budget under CM Siddaramaiah was also never about growth. It only claimed to make the state a welfare-driven, progressive region. But the reality? It allocated large chunks to Christians and Muslims. After all, they helped the CON party rise in Karnataka. Consequently, the state saw rising fuel and milk prices, rampant water-tank mafia, inability to pay salaries, a dying public bus service, unpaid state government employees, and burdened metros. More the 1000 farmers committed suicide, but the government continues to ignore their plight!
The subtle appeasement of Congress in 2024 has completely and unabashedly morphed into a full-fledged appeasement budget in 2025.
- 2024 the CON party promised ₹1,000 monthly for women under Gruha Lakshmi. But in 2025, no increase in the amount despite spiking inflation
- ₹3,000 crore for rural development in 2024 Budget. However, 2025 will witness more cuts and lip service to development, to fund appeasement schemes.
- In 2024, the CON government declared a ₹5 subsidy on fuel for farmers. This subsidy is rendered ineffective with the rise in fuel prices in 2025.
- The CON party declared ₹200 crore for temple renovations in 2024. Instead, they are asking temples to pay for their “freebies.”
In Feb 2023 #Karnataka's BJP govt presented a surplus budget. It is very rare in India for a state to have a revenue surplus budget.
Immediately BJP lost election and Congress in 2024 presented a budget of 27000 crore deficit. pic.twitter.com/b2GVYpOz6n

The shift is clear. 2024 was a deception. However, Budget 2025 is the real Congress “Halal” plan – abandon pretense of development, push “peaceful” vote-bank policies, and let the state economy suffer.
What About the Common Kannadiga?
Who are we?

While CM Siddaramaiah throws money at appeasement politics, Karnataka’s middle class and Hindus face a harsh reality. Prices are skyrocketing. Fuel prices are up. Milk prices are set to surge in April by ₹5. Water scarcity haunts Karnataka Summers and the Tanker Mafia rules the roost. Despite the 200 free units, Electricity bills drains wallets. But does the government care? Yes, but only about its vote-bank!
Pidis & AI Bots are ranting about the #Budget2024 and Economy, and I’m laughing. 😆
2014: India was bankrupt, no development.
2024: Karnataka went from budget surplus to bankrupt instantly.In the last decade, BJP gave us unprecedented development, stock market, insane… pic.twitter.com/4iBQUypvyF

Instead, CONgress is prioritizing funding religious institutions over public infrastructure.
Compare this with their empty promises. Free electricity via Gruha Jyothi Scheme? Only on paper, electricity prices are set to increase from ₹1 to ₹1.5 per unit from 1st April 2025.April’s Fool Kannadigas!?! Affordable essentials? Not for the common man. Namma Metro and Bus fares have increased. Petrol price has increased. As of today, the inflation in Karnataka is 5.03% compared to the national average of 4.8%! Thus, the latest scheme with Muslim appeasement will ensure contracts and jobs are only for select groups. Thus, it is safe to say that Karnataka’s development has stalled under the weight of Congress’s ‘Great CON.’
The Grand Loot Must End

The Karnataka Model is not a model of governance. It is a grand scam disguised as social welfare for Muslims while denying Hindus. Hindu majority Karnataka and Kannadigas deserve better. However, to ensure change, the people must see through this farce and demand real progress – not selective appeasement. When a government divides its citizens for votes, it ceases to be a democracy and becomes a place of trade where votes are bought with freebies!
It seems that Karnataka’s Congress has mastered the art of CONning the Hindus.
Thus, today it is celebrating a distinctly Halal Budget!
