Dismissing the BJP’s assumptions that the Congress government in the State will discontinue the guarantee schemes after the Lok Sabha elections, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asserted that all the five guarantees will continue even after the elections.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the Congress government in Karnataka cannot implement the guarantee schemes. He had further said that the State will get economically bankrupt if they are implemented. We have been implementing the guarantee schemes for the last eight months and already spent ₹36,000 crore for them. Has Karnataka become bankrupt? We have allocated ₹52,009 crore for the implementation of the schemes in 2024-25,” he said.
“Now, the BJP is propagating that we will discontinue the schemes after the Lok Sabha elections. I would like to ask the BJP to stop spreading lies. People know that the BJP is a liar. India has seen several Prime Ministers after Independence. But it has never seen a Prime Minister who has spoken lies as many times as Mr. Modi has. The BJP is a factory that generates lies,” Mr. Siddaramaiah said, assuring the people that he will continue the guarantee schemes even after the Lok Sabha elections as he has promised.
