"Due to pain in his left knee, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah underwent a medical examination at Manipal Hospital in Bengaluru.

The doctors, who examined him, have asked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to rest at home for two days. Thus, all the scheduled programs for today stand cancelled.
Earlier, Siddaramaiah slammed the Union Budget 2025 presented on Saturday and said it was very disappointing, without any vision and did not meet the demands of Karnataka.
"This budget has not met the demands of Karnataka state. The central government has not announced any of the projects we requested from Karnataka in this budget. Nothing has been announced on AIIMS which we have asked in Raichur. I have seen the key highlights of the Modi government's budget. The Union Budget, from the country's perspective, may be fine, but from Karnataka's perspective, it is very disappointing," CM Siddaramaiah said.
Attacking BJP further, he said that the centre had given an "empty vessel" to Karnataka, and no money was allotted to the irrigation projects in Karnataka. He further alleged that the state's projects have received "not a single rupee".
