The Congress government in Karnataka, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, is completing one year in office on Monday without any fanfare. With the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) for the Lok Sabha polls still on, the government has not organised any official programmes to mark its first anniversary.
The government that has implemented its five guarantee schemes - Shakti, Anna Bhagya, Gruha Jyothi, Gruha Lakshmi and Yuva Nidhi - within nine months of coming to power claimed that the guarantee schemes have reached over 4.6 crore people in the State, and with that, the purchasing power of the people has strengthened.
Dismissing the BJP’s assumptions that the Congress government in the State will discontinue the guarantee schemes after the Lok Sabha polls, the Chief Minister has been asserting that all the five guarantees will continue even after the elections.
