Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said Karnataka바카라s Gruha Lakshmi scheme which provides Rs 2,000 every month for women heads of families will be replicated across the country.
Rahul Gandhi made the announcement at the launch of the scheme by the Karnataka government in Mysuru.
바카라Our five schemes in Karnataka are not just schemes, but a governance model. Our thinking is that the government should work for the poor and weak, and no one should be left behind irrespective of religion, caste, or the language they speak. What we did for women in Karnataka, we are going to replicate it across the country. And Karnataka is showing the way for the country,바카라 he said, reported PTI.
Rahul Gandhi hailed Gruha Lakshmi as the world바카라s largest cash transfer scheme, the report said.
바카라Nowhere in the world is the government giving such a large amount to women,바카라 he said as per the report.
바카라When the Congress announced the scheme, the Union government said that it could not be implemented. But the truth is in front of you. Today, accounts of more than one crore women got Rs 2,000. Women are travelling for free in buses. Families are getting 10 kg rice,바카라 the Wayanad MP said, the report mentioned.
The scheme, one of the five guarantees made by the Congress, was the fourth to be launched and has 1.15 crore beneficiaries.
바카라Three schemes, Shakti 바카라 free bus travel for women, Anna Bhagya 바카라 free 10 kg rice every month per person of BPL families, and Gruha Jyothi 바카라 up to 200 units of free power for households each month, were launched earlier. The fifth scheme Yuva Nidhi 바카라 which will offer unemployment allowance to youth 바카라 is expected to be launched in December or January,바카라 it stated.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that none of the governments has given such guarantees. 바카라(Congress) Leaders from other states are telling me that we should do what Karnataka did. They want to give similar guarantees to the people,바카라 he was quoted in the report as having said.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recalled the apprehensions aired by rival parties after the guarantees were announced ahead of the Assembly polls in May, the report said.
바카라The BJP and the JD(S) said that we cannot fulfill the guarantees. (Prime Minister) Modi said in Rajasthan that Karnataka would go bankrupt if we implemented the schemes. Today, we have fulfilled four guarantees. By December or January, we will implement Yuva Nidhi also. But the state government has not gone bankrupt. None of the regular schemes were stopped. We implemented the schemes despite allocating funds to all departments and programs,바카라 he said, as per the report.
