Congress Govt in Karnataka Is Implementing All Assurances: Uttam

Hyderabad, August 30: Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Wednesday said that the Congress Government in Karnataka has been fulfilling all the promises that it made to the people during the Assembly elections.

Uttam Kumar Reddy was addressing a press conference at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad. He said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today launched the Gruha Lakshmi Scheme, the fourth guarantee, wherein women who are family heads get Rs 2,000 per month. Therefore, the Congress Govt will be giving Rs. 24,000 per annum to a single family by spending about Rs. 22,000 crore per annum.

He said every household in Karnataka was already getting free power up to 200 units. This guarantee was implemented at a cost of Rs. 7,000 crore. He said the third guarantee – the Anna Bhagya Scheme where each family gets 20 kg of rice per unit has been implemented. The Congress Govt of Karnataka is spending Rs. 7,200 crore for the scheme. Further, he said nearly 3.05 crore women across Karnataka got free bus passes. The Congress Govt is spending about Rs. 2,500 to provide free bus service to nearly 30% of all passengers (women).

He said that the Congress Government in Karnataka has already fulfilled four out of five guarantees that it made during the assembly elections. The fifth guarantee, Yuva Nidhi, is scheduled to be launched in December this year. Under this scheme, graduates will get Rs. 3,000 per month while the Diploma holders will get Rs. 1500 per month. He said lakhs of graduates across Karnataka would benefit from this scheme and the Congress Govt would spend Rs. 2,000 crore per for Graduates and Rs 3,600 crore for Diploma Holders.

Uttam Kumar Reddy accused the BRS leaders of spreading falsehood regarding the Congress government in Karnataka and other states. He said unlike other parties, the Congress party always fulfills the promises that it makes to the people.

He said that the BRS leaders were in a state of fear and frustration following the serious anti-incumbency wave against their government in Telangana. He said that the Congress party would sweep the coming assembly elections and form the next government in the state.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said that, unlike other parties, the Congress party always delivers on promises. It functions with total accountability and commitment towards the common people. He said that the Old Pension Scheme was restored in Himachal Pradesh immediately after the Congress party came to power. He said the employees were demanding the scrapping of the Contributory Pension Scheme. Therefore, the Congress, during the Assembly elections, promised to restore OPS and did it in the first cabinet meeting.

He said that the Congress party would restore the Old Pension Scheme in Telangana after winning the next Assembly elections.

The Congress MP said that BRS leaders were in huge frustration following a serious anti-incumbency wave against their government across Telangana State.

He said Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has been creating hype around the distribution of rice for the poor. However, he said the State Government was giving only 1 kg of rice per person and the remaining 5 kg was being adjusted from a Central scheme launched during the Covid pandemic.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the people should know how they were duped by the TRS in the last nine years. He said CM KCR was habitual in deceiving the people with fake promises and false claims.

Listing out some failed promises, the Congress MP said CM KCR cheated the people on the promise of making a Dalit CM, 2 BHK houses for poor, KG to PG free education, 12% quota for Muslims and STs, 3 acres of land for poor Dalit and ST families, Unemployment Allowance of Rs. 3,016 for jobless youth, etc., Overall, KCR Govt made 99 major promises in 2014 and 2018 elections. However, it did not fulfill even nine major promises. While in Karnataka and other Congress-ruled States, every promise made with the people has been fulfilled, he said.

Uttam Kumar Reddy said that there was a serious anti-incumbency wave in Telangana and BRS would be completely wiped out. He said BRS MLAs have harassed people and looted public wealth through sand, land, wine, and mine mafias. They are still living in a world of arrogance with no service motto.

He completely dismissed the allegations by Minister KT Ramarao against Congress were completely baseless and BRS leaders have stooped down to the lowest level due to the fear of loss.

He reiterated the claim that the Congress party would sweep the coming Assembly elections and form the next government in Telangana. (Hydnow)
