“Prime Minister Narendra Modi laughed at our guarantee schemes which we mentioned in our manifesto. After coming to power we delivered what he promised and now every poor family gets anywhere between ₹5,000 and ₹8,000 per month,” Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said.
Addressing a large gathering of party workers and voters under the Prajadhwani-2 convention at Old Hubballi on Thursday night, Mr. Siddaramaiah said that Mr. Modi spread the canard that Karnataka will become bankrupt if the Congress implemented guarantee schemes. Instead, the government has spent thousands of crores for implementing the guarantee schemes, he said.
The Chief Minister said that after realising the impact of the guarantee schemes, the BJP leaders are now spreading misinformation that the guarantee schemes will be stopped after the Lok Sabha elections. The guarantee schemes will continue for the whole five-year term of his government, he claimed.
