Accusing the Congress government of failing to properly implement its poll guarantees, former Chief Minister and BJP leader Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday alleged that the Congress dispensation had lost its popularity within a month of forming the government due to its inability to fulfil promises.
“The Congress has failed to provide a good government in Karnataka. It has failed to fulfil the promises made in the elections. That is the reason why the Congress is fast losing popularity. Congress came to power by promising various guarantees to people. But within a month, they have lost their popularity,” he said, while addressing party workers of Belagavi district at a meeting.
Mr. Bommai said that the Congress guarantees had created a negative impact on the State’s finances. “The Shakti scheme of free KSRTC travel for women will lead to such a situation where the State-run transport corporation will have to be closed down. It is a drain on the corporation’s finances. There is no diesel to run the buses,” he said.
