“We
have
been
placing

but
it

the
same.
People
of
Karnataka
are
losing

over
the
delay.
The
Centre
should
not
treat
our
patience
as
weakness," Yeddyurappa
said,
accusing
the
Union
government
of
step
motherly
treatment
to
the
State
at
a
press
conference
in
Bangalore.
Successive
governments
were
responsible
for
the
backwardness
of
Hyderabad-Karnatak
region,
he
alleged
and
urged
the
Centre
to
extend
special
status
under
Article
371
of
the
Constitution
to
boost
development
in
this
backward
region.
A meeting of the State MPs will be convened soon to discuss projects pending clearance before the Centre.
