Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy has expressed outrage over the implementation of garbage cess in Bengaluru by the Congress-led Karnataka government, stating that the "price hike demon" government in Karnataka is draining the blood of the people like leeches.
In a press statement, he said, "From today, the Congress Company government is imposing a cess even on garbage! It is draining the blood of the people!" He accused the state government of lying daily and hiking prices every month. "This is the governance style of the Karnataka East India Congress Company government! From today, the Congress Company government is imposing a cess even on garbage!" Kuamaswamy said. "The government is using its so-called five guarantees as a pretext for price hikes. But its real intention is nothing but looting the people. Even Mahmud of Ghazni and Muhammad Ghori, who invaded India and looted it continuously, would be ashamed of the price hike campaign being imposed on Kannadigas by the Congress government," the Union Minister alleged. He launched a severe attack, stating that the Congress Company government has destroyed a once-prosperous Karnataka through "misgovernance" and has now taken the form of a "Price Hike Demon" to bleed the people dry. "They have increased the prices of water, metro rail, KSRTC bus tickets, milk (three times), electricity, stamp duty, guideline value, excise duty, outpatient fees in government hospitals, post-mortem examination charges, medical certificate fees, lab test charges, professional tax, and seed prices. This is the 'Price Hike Demon' Congress government," he stated. "As if this wasn't enough, from April 1, they are imposing a Garbage Cess! Under the guise of waste management, they have set up a multi-crore looting scheme," he added. The minister also referred to the Congress government as the "Price Hike Demon Government" and compared it to the British East India Company, calling it the "Karnataka East India Congress" and the "Congress Company Government."
