Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj and Information Technology and Biotechnology Priyank Kharge told his party workers to go to people with confidence and seek votes on the party track record and its future programmes.
Addressing a party workers conference at Appa Centenary Hall in Kalaburagi on Monday, the Minister said that the Congress had, unlike the BJP which utterly failed to fulfil its poll promises, delivered as it promised and the party workers need not be hesitant in seeking votes.
“We gave 165 assurances during the 2013 Assembly elections and we fulfilled 158 of them. The BJP promised 612 promises in its manifesto and it fulfilled only 51 of them when it came to power. In the 2023 Assembly elections, we promised five guarantees and we implemented all of them. Our party workers must be proud that the party has delivered as promised and go to the people with confidence and seek votes with no hesitation. We must seek votes on our track record as well as our future plans for the welfare of the people and the development of the country,” Mr. Kharge said.
