Amid rumour mongering over the status of the five guarantee schemes of the Congress-led Karnataka government, including of the Shakti scheme being withdrawn, the government has clarified that these are false and that the schemes will continue.
Over the last few days, numerous false reports have been circulating on platforms like WhatsApp and other social media sites, claiming that the Shakti scheme is on the verge of being withdrawn.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the false information surrounding the scheme and said: “First, they spread the word that guarantee schemes would not be implemented. Now, they have started spreading slander that these projects will not run for long. Don’t listen to such fake news. Our government is running as we promised. I guarantee this.”
