Karnataka’s IT-BT minister Priyank Kharge met country’s finance minister (FM) Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday to request assistance in replicating Gujarat state’s GIFT City model in Karnataka.

“I wish to put forward a request for your support and assistance in establishing a central business district hosting a global financial and IT hub, similar to the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City) project of Gujarat, in Karnataka,” Kharge said in a formal letter addressing the FM on Tuesday.
