The much touted Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) manifesto announced on Sunday by the party President and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao is a clever bid to trump the six guarantees promised by the Congress party last month.
A close look at the promises shows that the BRS leadership tried to woo the electorate by enhancing the financial assistance to the targeted group.
For example, the Mahalaxmi guarantee given by the Congress promises Rs. 2,500 to eligible women while the BRS manifesto has hiked it to Rs. 3000. If the Congress intends to provide domestic LPG cylinder at Rs. 500, it would be provided at a cost of Rs. 400 by the BRS.
