Minister for Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Venkata Rao Nadagouda on Saturday said that the government was yet to take off. "It will take some time for the government to take off. Once the budget is presented, the government will take off," the minister said. Nadagouda was speaking to reporters after visiting Karnataka Oil Seeds Federation in Chitradurga.\
"The coalition government's two alliance partners, the JD(S) and the Congress, have perfection understanding and coordination. Media is observing the government wearing specific spectacles," he charged and advised the media to take off the spectacles to see the truth.

"Former chief minister Siddaramaiah is with the government. The government will complete its tenure of five years. District in-charge ministers will be appointed before the presentation of the budget. The pace of the development will speed up once these two things are completed," he said.
