Bellary’s jeans manufacturing unit owners urge the state government to fulfill Rahul Gandhi’s election campaign promises. Despite Rahul Gandhi’s promise of a Rs 5,000 crore special package to boost the jeans industry and transform Bellary into a hub for denim manufacturing, the state government’s lack of acknowledgment and budget proposal has left industrialists discontented.
Despite Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s assurance for the development of the Jeans Textile Park, businessmen express disappointment as the budget remains devoid of any allocation. A viral video of Rahul Gandhi’s campaign promise adds to their frustration, where he pledged a decision on funds allocation in the first cabinet meeting after Congress assumes power.
Pollux Mallikarjun, a prominent owner of the companies, voiced his disappointment, stating, “We believed in the promise made by a national leader, and we were confident that the government would fulfill it. However, it’s disheartening to see that nothing has materialized.”
