With the Karnataka Assembly elections fast approaching, the Congress party has released its election manifesto, making a series of promises to woo voters. The manifesto, titled ‘People’s Manifesto 2023’, includes a promise of 200 units of free electricity per month for every household and monthly allowances for women and unemployed youth.
The Congress party, which has been out of power in the state since 2018, is hoping to regain power in the upcoming polls. The party’s manifesto promises a slew of measures aimed at addressing issues such as unemployment, agriculture, and healthcare.
Apart from the promise of free electricity and monthly allowances, the Congress manifesto also includes promises to provide free education to girls up to the post-graduate level, setting up a healthcare system that provides free treatment to all, and increasing the minimum wage for workers in the state.
The manifesto also promises to address issues related to the state’s agriculture sector, with promises to waive farm loans, provide free water for agriculture, and set up a fund to support small and marginal farmers.
The Congress party has also promised to create 10 lakh jobs in the state over the next five years, and to provide a pension of Rs. 5,000 per month for farmers above the age of 60.
The party’s manifesto has been welcomed by many, with some calling it a comprehensive document that addresses the concerns of the people. However, critics have questioned the feasibility of some of the promises, especially the promise of free electricity and monthly allowances.
The upcoming Assembly elections in Karnataka are crucial for both the Congress party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Congress party is hoping to regain power in the state, while the BJP is aiming to retain its hold on the state.
In conclusion, the Congress party’s election manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections promises a host of measures aimed at addressing various issues faced by the people of the state. While some of the promises have been welcomed, the feasibility of others has been questioned. The upcoming elections will be closely watched to see which party’s promises resonate more with the people of Karnataka.
