Telangana BJP fielded former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S.Yediyurappa, on Wednesday, where he urged Telangana people not be misled by the “six guarantees” of the Congress party, charging that the Congress government has utterly failed to implement the five guarantees in that State after coming to power.
“The Congress is following the Karnataka model here but the government there has cheated the people, unable to implement what it had guaranteed in the run-up to the polls. I appeal to the people of Telangana not to get hoodwinked by empty promises,” he said.
Stating that he was going to give a glimpse of the manner in which the Karnataka government has gone back on the promises, the BJP leader claimed that the guarantee of providing ₹3,000 monthly allowance for the unemployed and ₹1,500 for diploma holders shows no sign of it seeing the light of the day.
