Making a strong appeal to the people for supporting the Congress in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday reiterated that all five guarantee schemes, implemented by the Congress government under him, will continue for five years and added that there should be any doubt in the minds of the people about their continuance for full five years.
“The BJP is misleading the people falsely claiming that the schemes will be stopped after the Lok Sabha elections. As promised by us, the schemes have been implemented and the people will get the benefits of all schemes for five years. The benefits will not be stopped,” he stated, in his address after inaugurating the convention of beneficiaries of guarantee schemes in Mysuru.
Mr. Siddaramaiah said the government has fulfilled its promise. It’s been 10 months for the government now. The Congress got the thumping majority with 136 seats. “We are a government that practices what it says. The government takes inspiration from 12th century social reformer Basavanna and therefore he was declared the cultural ambassador of the State,” the Chief Minister observed.
