Cong means guarantee of...: Modi to K'taka BJP workers

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed through virtual mode tens of lakhs of Bharatiya Janata Party workers exhorting them to strengthen booth-level campaigning for the coming Karnataka Assembly elections, and made a strong pitch for ending “revdi culture” (culture of distributing freebies). Modi also hit out at the Congress on the issue, stating what is the meaning of its guarantees when that party’s warranty itself has expired.

For Karnataka polls Congress has announced ‘guarantees’ that include — 200 units of free power to all households (Gruha Jyoti), Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to the woman head of every family (Gruha Lakshmi), and Rs 3,000 every month for graduate youth and Rs 1,500 for diploma holders (both in the age group of 18-25) for two years (YuvaNidhi), on coming to power in the state.

The PM said states are getting immersed in debt because of freebies, and emphasised that the country and the governments cannot be run like this. “In our country some political parties have made politics the means of power and corruption, to achieve this, they are using all means like ‘saam, dham, dhand, bedh’. These political parties don’t think about the future of the country, future generation of Karnataka, its youth, women,” Modi said.
