«They have to give more than Rs. 4000 crores to the transport department and they have no money. Hence, this was the easy thing to do,» Ashoka told on Thursday
«It is free for the wife but double for the husband… They are doing this for the commission because this is a commission government… Tomorrow (Friday) I will protest… And BJP will carry out a state-wide protest the day after tomorrow (Saturday),» he added.
Karnataka's 15 pc bus fare hike is expected to generate a significant additional revenue of Rs 74.85 crore monthly and approximately Rs 784 crore yearly. This revision aims to partially offset the financial burden of the state's flagship Shakti scheme, which provides free bus travel for women on state-run buses.
The Shakti scheme, launched last year, costs the government approximately Rs 417 crore per month, with Rs 104 crore allocated to each corporation.
