Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Monday, May 11 asked Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to urge PM Narendra Modi to give a ‘COVID Package’ to Karnataka.
Kumaraswamy in a series of tweets told that Yediyurappa should raise the demand during the course of the meeting scheduled to be held today with the PM, which will also be attended by Chief Ministers of other states.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold talks with CMs from different states on coronavirus control and lockdown today. The state’s CM BS Yediyurappa will also be in it. At this meeting, BSY should urge Modi to offer a ‘COVID Package’ to the state,” tweeted Kumaraswamy.
In another tweet, he said, “The central government has set up a PM Cares Fund for the fight against Corona. As MPs, entrepreneurs and citizens have made generous donations. BSY must convince Modi that the state has not received adequate financial support from the Center so far.”
He further added that the package could be utilized for “medical procedures”, “financial compensation for the affected people.”
Kumaraswamy also said that “In addition to the ‘COVID Package’, other dues from the Center, including GST dues, flood relief, etc should also be asked for by BS Yediyurappa at the meeting with Modi.”
