The Chief Minister said that the stadium is being developed by the Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) using its own funds without financial help from the government.
He added that the project is a major step as KHB was earlier mainly involved in housing construction. Siddaramaiah also said that the development of roads and other infrastructure around the stadium would improve connectivity and boost nearby towns and businesses.
