Bengaluru, Feb 24 (IANS): Karnataka Congress unit on Friday promised to provide 10 kilograms of free rice to every family member of a BPL card holder if voted to power.

State President D.K. Shivakumar and Opposition leader Siddaramaiah and other senior leaders made this announcement in a joint press conference at the party headquarters here and also released the posters.

The Congress has already announced 200 units of free electricity supply through the 'Gruha Jyothi' project. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had announced on her visit to Bengaluru that the party would provide Rs 2,000 for every woman head of the family in Karnataka if voted to power. The party has named the scheme as 'Gruha Lakshmi'.

When the debates are on the feasibility of these assurances, the party has come up with new one.

"Our party has already announced two guarantee programmes if voted to power to help people. It has been decided to provide every member of the BPL card holder family with 10 kilograms of free rice," Shivakumar stated.

With this, the Congress will help every household to save Rs 1,500. The free rice distribution scheme has helped people in Covid times. People are angry about BJP reducing the quantity of rice from seven kilograms to five kilograms, he maintained.

    Need of the hour is to make concrete plans for the overall development and not segmented and fractioned selective search for vote banks with certain amount of uncalulated election promises . Take utmost care of the taxpayers money that is entrusted under the care of the elected government, not making it a regime of fools and the corrupt. Propose more for the education, job security, communal harmony and peace without neglecting the cooperation from the least in the society. Congress better think united, stand united and work united: There is strength in unity. Let it not be-TEEN TIGDA KAAM BIGDA.

    These freebies from any political party is not good for society because of below reasons. 1. It is making people not to work. 2. This cost is borne by taxpayers money or from people who work. 3. This means people who work should feed those people who does not work. Instead political parties should promise education and jobs so people earn their living and not a burden on others.

    FREE rice, let's do the math. Karnataka's population is 61 Million, let's say there are over 10 Million poor families in the State that would claim the 10 Kgs of FREE rice. At Rs.32 a kg it will cost the Congress party 320 crores to fund the purchase of rice. Besides, the many other election promises of FREE stuff which is nothing else but a bribe to get votes, I wonder where is all this money going to come from.

    If voted to power they will give you 10 kg rice. Is it not a bribe? Why these parties remember to help people when the election is near? First of all fulfil all those offers and assurances you promised before you came to power. People are still looking forward to have good governance, corruption-free administration, good infrastructure, low cost of living and above all, peace in the State. You spend more time in lambasting the opponents, dividing the people based on their religion instead of focusing on development of the State.

    So you have problem only when congress gives free from tax money and no problem when Modi gives from our tax money.. don’t justify what Modi gives and obstruct what congress plan to give. If you have guts then oppose that’s manly.

    Is it becoming too much for you to accept your own agenda and idealogy now during election time????????..Your own ministers in public speech were encouraging youths to carry weapons and knives in thier school bags to attack minorities and it’s a universal fact. Tippu was the son of the soil who fought and died for Bharath Matha unlike your coward Savarkar and Godse who were boot licking slaves of Britishers and first terrorists of independent India.
