In this news report, the Karnataka government faces intense scrutiny over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s air travel expenses. Newly released records reveal that the state administration spent over ₹47 crore on 180 helicopter and special aircraft trips between May 2023 and November 2025. India Today reporter Sagar Raj highlights the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) attack, which accuses the Chief Minister of being a ‘Majawadi’ (pleasure seeker) rather than a ‘Samajwadi’ (socialist). The Opposition alleges that Siddaramaiah used helicopters for short distances, such as the 140 km trip to Mysore, despite improved road conditions. The report also touches upon the controversy surrounding the Chief Minister’s luxury watch. The Congress government defends the spending as necessary for governance, emergency reviews, and security protocols.
