Apart from what all Congress has promised to the people of Karnataka in the run-up to the 2023 Assembly Elections, Congress disqualified MP Rahul Gandhi has, in his personal capacity, promised to establish a jeans park in Ballari and make the city the jeans capital of India.
Addressing a street-corner meeting in Ballari on Friday evening, Mr. Gandhi said that he wanted to see Made In Ballari and Made In Karnataka tags on all jeans worn worldwide.
“I visited some jeans manufacturing units in Ballari during the Bharat Jodo Yatra that passed through the city. I saw the plight of women working in those units. I want to promise you that we will make Ballari the jeans capital of India. It is not the promise of a government but that of mine. We will establish a jeans manufacturing park. I want to see the day when we see Made In Ballari and Made In Karnataka tags on all jeans worn by youths worldwide. I would ask the Chief Minister of Karnataka and get this work done. It is my promise,” Mr. Gandhi said.
