Shivakumar, who also holds charge of the city, seems to have barely added anything new for the city in the Karnataka Budget that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah presented on Friday, July 7. The Budget has provided ₹100 crore for revamping and expansion of Indira Canteens, a marquee scheme of the previous Congress regime that had fallen out of favour under the BJP regime.
