Bengaluru, Jan 16: The Congress in Karnataka on Monday promised to give Rs 2,000 a month to a housewife in every household if voted to power, said party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in a convention here.
Addressing the gathering, Priyanka Gandhi said, “I want to ask a question: Under the BJP government, has your life become better? Did anything change in your life? Look at the past few years and evaluate your life before voting.”
She added, “Don’t you want education, government jobs? Don’t you want the freedom to make choice for yourself and family? Politics is your strength.”
The announcement came within days of the party promising to provide 200 units of free electricity every month to all households in the state.
Titled ‘Gruha Lakshmi’ scheme, it would benefit 1.5-crore housewives, the KPCC said.
The announcement comes within days of the party promising to provide 200 units of free every month to all households in the State, where Assembly elections are due by May.
