On Monday, the Congress referred to the BJP’s manifesto for Karnataka as “bogus” and a “JhootLoot BJP Moneyfesto” and asserted that people will vote out the party.
In its manifesto for the 10 May assembly polls released on Monday, the ruling BJP promised to implement the Uniform Civil Code and National Register of Citizens in Karnataka.
“Ninety percent of promises made by the ’40 percent BJP Commission Government’ in its 2018 manifesto were never fulfilled. Today, another set of bogus manifesto promises have been made by the corrupt and incompetent BJP and Bommai Government,” AICC general secretary in-charge for Karnataka Randeep Surjewala said through social media handle.
He charged that the promise of UCC is just another attempt at “distraction away from the tag of #CryPMPayCM government”.
The Congress has accused the BJP dispensation in Karnataka of engaging in rampant corruption and “taking 40 percent commission in all kinds of work done by the government”.
In a tweet, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “Modi government has tripled the price of LPG cylinder in the last 9 years. Last election in UP, BJP promised 2 free cylinders in a year. Today in Karnataka, JhootLoot BJP Moneyfesto has promised 3 free cylinders in a year. People are fed up of price rise, BJP’s lies and their bogus jumlas!”
Surjewala also said a government which tripled the prices of LPG cylinders from Rs 400 to Rs 1,100 is offering three cylinders free to below poverty line (BPL) families.
