<h1>Karnataka CM Seeks Extension of GST Compensation and More Central Funds for Key Projects Beyond 2022.</h1> Karnataka's Chief Minister has urged the central government to extend the Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation beyond 2022, citing potential financial difficulties for the state. The current compensation agreement, which ends in 2022, was intended to cover revenue losses from GST implementation. The Chief Minister highlighted that without extended compensation, Karnataka's revenue would significantly drop, affecting developmental projects. Additionally, he requested increased central funding for rural drinking water projects and disaster relief, and raised concerns about the NITI Aayog's ranking system, particularly regarding Bengaluru's low ranking in the Ease of Living Index.
