Karnataka's Rs 10 crore aid to Wayanad: Humanitarian gesture or appeasement politics?

A political debate has erupted over the Karnataka government's decision to provide 10 crore rupees as aid to the landslide-hit district of Wayanad. The BJP questions the government's priorities, suggesting the move is aimed at pleasing the Congress high command as Wayanad is Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's constituency, especially when Karnataka is purportedly facing a fund shortage. The Congress defends the action on humanitarian grounds, pointing out that BJP and NDA-ruled states have also provided similar assistance. The discussion also covers the financial health of Karnataka, with the state government blaming the Centre for withholding funds, while the opposition alleges misgovernance and corruption.
