Free for wife but double for husband: Karnataka LoP R Ashoka on KSRTC bus fare hike

Karnataka's opposition leader, R Ashoka, criticizes the recent 15 per cent hike in KSRTC bus fares, set to take effect on January 5, 2025. The BJP plans a state-wide protest against this decision. The fare hike aims to generate additional revenue to offset costs of the state's Shakti scheme, providing free bus travel for women.
