The opposition BJP accused the ruling Congress of cheating the people of Karnataka by imposing various conditions for availing benefits under five guarantees, and delaying their implementation.
In his preliminary submission on July 5, senior member R. Ashok, who sought to move an adjournment motion in the legislative Assembly on non-implementation of guarantees, claimed that the government has set up several check-posts for their implementation. The poll manifesto of the Congress did not mention any conditions for availing benefits, but when it came to executing schemes, the government had imposed too many restrictions, he claimed.
Stating that ‘there is no warranty of five guarantees’, the former minister said the Siddaramaiah-led government has no moral authority to continue in office by postponing implementation of schemes, such as Yuva Nidhi and Gruha Lakshmi.
