Siddaramaiah Pledges Continuation of Congress's 'Five Guarantee Schemes'

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has forcefully defended the Congress party's commitment to its 'five guarantee schemes,' dismissing opposition claims as propaganda. Promising the schemes' continuation if Congress regains power, he described BJP as anti-poor and accused it of adopting similar schemes in BJP-ruled states.

In a decisive declaration, former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has reiterated the Congress party's firm commitment to its 'five guarantee schemes,' which he assured voters would not be discontinued irrespective of the circumstances.

Siddaramaiah, a member of the Congress Working Committee, actively dismissed what he described as 'false propaganda' spread by the opposition regarding these welfare policies. This statement comes amid allegations from BJP, which Siddaramaiah denounced as 'anti-poor' party rhetoric driven by political frustration.

Highlighting the schemes' success, Siddaramaiah reflected on Karnataka's economic achievements during his tenure, challenging the BJP's claims about financial viability and reiterating Congress's promise to extend the schemes if they regain power in the forthcoming election.
