Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the launch of Gruha Lakshmi scheme, the fourth guarantee of the Congress government in Karnataka, will be one of the biggest government programmes in India. Karnataka would be spending ₹32,000 crore annually on the scheme.
Addressing mediapersons on August 28 on arriving in Mysuru on a three-day visit, he said Congress president Mallikarjuna Kharge will be launching the scheme in Mysuru on August 30. “This is a government programme. Mr Kharge and (Congress MP) Rahul Gandhi are participating as members of Parliament. The Gruha Lakshmi scheme launch is not a party event,” he said.
