“Absolutely, that is the commitment and the Congress will complete that. Five commitments will be fulfilled in the first cabinet meeting,” he said.
Five guarantees promised by Congress during the campaign are 200 units of free power, Rs 2,000 for the woman head of a family, 10 kg of rice free to every member of a BPL household, Rs 3,000 a month for unemployed degree holders, and Rs 1,500 a month for diploma holders for two years and free bus rides for women.
He further hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and asked the party to think about the defeat in the Karnataka polls. “BJP should think about why they lost the election and how much division is there in their party. People of Karnataka have voted for development”, Priyank Kharge added. (ANI)
