Congress leaders accused that Chief Minister P.K.

They claim that the surplus budgets of the Congress turned into deficit budgets in the last 3 years during the BJP rule. These deficits squarely arose on account of pilferage of the government revenues by the criminal Council of Ministers of the BJP Government.
