The KPCC President Mr. Parameshwar had also suggested the CM to present a people friendly budget by covering all the election time assurances and agendas. Consequently, the CM being an able finance minister, who has already presented 8 successful budgets in his political career had already started providing a kg of rice for 1 rupee as promissed earlier and made his path. In this context, the budget has made its emphasis on the education and agricultural sectors. The education department has emerged as the highest benefitted department in this year with the contribution of about 812700 rs.

Local trains will be installed in the capital city and sky walkers will be also inducted for the betterment of pedestrians. However. The budget has brought disappointment among the rich traders and business personals, who were expecting the state tax and duties's variation in the scenario of resession. The x-CM Jagdish Shetter has defined this budget as a continuation of his proposed budget of March 2013 during BJP rule. He has also opposed the budget, as it has completely neglected the earlier declaration of Taluks and has not funded the Bhagya Lakshmi plan. Another x-CM B. S. Yadiyurappa felt that the new corporations are announced, but no definition is made regarding the existing members. The budget completely proves the come back of CM Siddu being a leader from backward class and rural area and also depicts the way of attracting the commons with a future thinking of the up coming central elections as well. However. The government must at least fulfill the given proposals with a right allocation and implementation of proposed fund to reach the path of success and progress. Because, the assurances get prominence only when it is fulfilled.
