Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said here on Friday that Congress guarantee schemes was being rebadged as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guarantee scheme through Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra.
Speaking to media persons on his arrival to Mysuru for a two-day visit, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that Mr. Modi was the one who opposed the Congress guarantee schemes in the run-up to the elections in the State claiming that it would bankrupt the exchequer.
But having opposed the guarantee schemes, they are now being rebadged as PM’s Guarantee Schemes. “The BJP is sending vans which have PM’s Guarantee Scheme written all over it,” said Mr. Siddaramaiah. Besides, the BJP was showering guarantee schemes in the five States where the election process was on, he added. ‘’Mr. Modi is scared of me and hence constantly refers to me and Karnataka in his election speeches in other States”, said Mr. Siddarmaiah.
