Minor changes in Karnataka govt by year end: Minister Jarkiholi
BELAGAVI: Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi stated on Thursday that only minor changes can be expected in the state government by the end of the year, ruling out any major reshuffle. Speaking to reporters, he clarified, 'I have not made any efforts to become KPCC president. Had I tried, I would have pursued it further. I am content with my current position. As you all know, no one is actively backing me from behind.' Responding to allegations by Congress legislators about not receiving funds from the Water Resources Department, he said, 'MLA Raju Kage has consistently raised concerns regarding irrigation issues. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is aware of the matter and will discuss it with Water Resources Minister D.K. Shivakumar.' 'Who claims the Water Resources Department has no funds?' he asked. 'The department currently holds Rs 25,000 crore. However, there are pending bills as well. Regardless of which government is in power, bills often remain unpaid for the first three years.'

No Toll Tax Proposed For 2-Wheelers: Nitin Gadkari Amid Reports
New Delhi: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, on Thursday dismissed media reports suggesting that two-wheelers will be required to pay tolls on National Highways from July 15. He called the reports misleading and clarified that no such proposal is under consideration. Taking to social media platform X, the Union Minister said: "Some media houses are spreading misleading news about toll tax being levied on two-wheelers. No such decision has been proposed." 📢 महत्वपूर्ण कुछ मीडिया हाऊसेस द्वारा दो-पहिया (Two wheeler) वाहनों पर टोल टैक्स लगाए जाने की भ्रामक खबरें फैलाई जा रही है। ऐसा कोई निर्णय प्रस्तावित नहीं हैं। दो-पहिया वाहन के टोल पर पूरी तरह से छूट जारी रहेगी। बिना सच्चाई जाने भ्रामक खबरें फैलाकर सनसनी निर्माण करना स्वस्थ… — Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) June 26, 2025 "Two-wheelers will continue to be exempt from tolls. Spreading such baseless news without verifying the facts is not responsible journalism. I strongly condemn it," the Union Minister stated. The clarification comes after a report claimed that toll payment would soon be made mandatory for two-wheelers at all national highway toll plazas, and that riders would need to equip their vehicles with FASTag. The report also claimed that violators could face penalties of up to Rs 2,000. This comes just days after Gadkari announced a new annual FASTag pass worth Rs 3,000 for private four-wheelers, aimed at simplifying toll payments and reducing congestion. Set to launch on August 15, the pass will be valid for one year or 200 trips -- whichever comes first -- and can be activated via the Rajmarg Yatra app or official websites of the NHAI and the MoRTH. The government has significantly expanded its highway infrastructure in the last decade, with the total length of national highways increasing from 91,287 km in 2014 to 1,46,204 km in 2024 -- a rise of over 60 per cent. The pace of highway construction has also tripled from 11.6 km/day in 2014 to 34 km/day in 2024. As of now, 1,366 highway projects covering 32,366 km are under construction across the country, many of which are expected to be completed in phases by FY 2028. With a 570 per cent increase in the road transport and highways budget over the last decade, the Centre continues to prioritise infrastructure development -- but for now, two-wheeler riders can rest assured that tolls are not on the horizon.

States to spend ₹1 trn on pre-poll sops to women in FY26: Crisil report
Top 18 states will spend Rs 1 trillion on pre-poll sops to women this fiscal, Crisil Ratings said on Thursday. States' spending on social sector schemes will be at an elevated 2 per cent of GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) in FY26 and is likely to impact capital expenditure, it added. The social sector spends used to be in the range of 1.4-1.6 per cent of GSDP between fiscals 2019 and 2024, and climbed up to 2 per cent last fiscal, the rating agency said. "This fiscal (FY26), the elevated spending will result in high revenue deficit, thereby limiting the flexibility of the states to undertake higher capital outlays," the agency said. The analysis includes 18 top states accounting for over 90 per cent of aggregate GSDP of all states, and added that social sector spends includes revenue expenditure for welfare of backward classes, women, children and labour, as well as assistance to certain demographics in the form of social security pensions. Its senior director Anuj Sethi said the overall expenditure across states will come at Rs 2.3 trillion, and of this, Rs 1 trillion is towards direct benefit transfers (DBT) to women primarily as "election commitments". It may be recalled that concerns were raised about the impact of the pre-poll sops to women, and with the electoral success of such schemes, a larger number of governments were feared to announce similar measures. Crisil said such tendencies will make this a key monitorable factor going ahead. "Over the past few years, several key states that have gone to the polls have introduced or increased allocations to DBT schemes. With upcoming elections in...(some) states, a rise in DBT, as part of election commitments, is possible and remains a key monitorable," it said. The agency said the increase in social welfare expenses over FY25 and FY26 is not estimated to be uniform across the states, with half of the analysed states expected to see a significant surge in these expenses, while the remaining are likely to see these spending at relatively stable levels or see a modest increase. While the social welfare expenses are inching up significantly, there is a wide gap between the rise in revenue expenditure and revenue receipts for the states over the two fiscal, it added. The overall revenue expenditure is budgeted to log a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13-14 per cent between fiscals 2025 and 2026, while revenue receipts grew a slower 6.6 per cent year-on-year (YoY) last fiscal and are expected to increase 6-8 per cent YoY this fiscal. Its director Aditya Jhaver explained that a rise in revenue deficit normally results in state governments reducing capital outlay to maintain their fiscal stability. Last fiscal, capital outlay grew a meagre 6 per cent on-year (as against a CAGR of 11 per cent over 5 years ended fiscal 2024) as revenue deficit ballooned almost 90 per cent on-year, he said. "If this trend continues this fiscal, it could constrain states' capital outlay, which has a higher multiplier effect and can stimulate increased investment in the economy," Jhaver said.
