Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for saying that states "opposing the idea of development" won't get support from the Centre, Karnataka Chief Minister on Monday said: "What the Centre gives states is their right, not charity."
Referring to Modi's statements of Sunday in Gujarat, Siddaramaiah tweeted: "This shows a lack of understanding of Constitution. What Centre gives states is not charity. It is our right."
