NEW DELHI, 29 May 2021, (TON): The Karnataka Congress termed the ₹1,250-crore relief package announced by the BS Yediyurappa-led government an “eyewash” while alleging due to the Covid-19 pandemic the amount was not sufficient to address the growing distress in the state.

Congress leaders Krishna Byre Gowda and Priyank Kharge attacking the state government said, the most effective way to revive the economy amid the pandemic was to give money directly to the poor.

Gowda said “If one rupee is spent, it rotates at least five times in our economy. For economic revival and to kickstart and stimulate it, giving money to the poor Is 100% effective”.
