BENGALURU: The Congress on Wednesday announced that it will provide 200 units of free electricity to every household in Karnataka every month if it comes to power in the forthcoming Assembly polls in the state. The party has named the promise ‘Griha Jyothi Yojana’.
“With the rising prices of essential commodities and the issue of unemployment, it is imperative that Karnataka deserves a government that thinks about public welfare and wellbeing”, the party said in a statement.
To help Kannadigas fight the onslaught of price rise and save up for essentials such as food, education for children, and healthcare, the Congress government in Karnataka will provide 200 units of electricity, free of cost, to every household in Karnataka, the statement said.
The term of the 224-member Legislative Assembly ends on May 24 and elections in the BJP-ruled state are likely to be held in late April or early May. (ANI)
