In an attempt to contain unrest among Congress workers and leaders, the State government has decided to constitute three-tier committees — at the State, district, and Assembly constituency levels — by nominating party workers to them for monitoring the implementation of the five guarantee schemes of Anna Bhagya, Shakti, Gruha Jyothi, Gruha Lakshmi, and Yuva Nidhi.
There would be a president/chairperson, five vice-presidents/vice-chairpersons, and 31 members in the State-level committee. The president would be given the State Cabinet rank status and benefits, while the vice-presidents would be given the rank of the Minister of State.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the district-level committee would have a president, a vice-president, and 21 members. The district-level president would be given an honorary allowance of ₹50,000 a month. The Assembly constituency-level committee would have a president, a vice-president, and 11 members, with the president eligible for an honorary allowance of ₹20,000 a month.
