Either we’re being treated like the red-headed / step child or the funds being allocated for Belgaum is being distributed as pocket money. Having been here 6 years now my guess is it’s the latter.
I could be wrong though.

Doubtful though.

In any field most neglected is our dist. Why where is the problem ? What our ministers are doing ? Every thing must be as per population. Why isn’t ?
