Bommai accused the Congress government of betraying the people who voted them into power, claiming that they have reached a state of financial distress. He likened the government's plan to sell and monetise state assets to a family selling ancestral property as a last resort, citing it as proof of the state's financial degradation.
The BJP MP also claimed that the state government has already borrowed Rs 1.05 lakh crore and imposed a new tax burden of around Rs 20,000 crore on the poor people of the state. He questioned the credentials of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who claims to be a financial expert, saying that his two economic advisors are worthless.
Bommai warned that a mass movement by the BJP against the asset monetisation scheme is both necessary and inevitable, given the state's financial condition. He claimed that it is impossible to hide the state's financial condition, and that the Congress government is betraying the state and its people by moving forward with such deals.
