Kolar: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar expressed confidence that the Congress party would wrest the Kolar parliamentary seat back from the BJP.
Addressing a road show in Kolar, he said, “Kolar has always been a Congress bastion; BJP and JDS won once each accidentally. We will wrest the seat back this time. Congress leaders from the district, including Ramesh Kumar, worked hard to get treated water from Bengaluru. Today, treated water from Bengaluru has made the lives of farmers in the district better.”
“Congress party has given the ticket to a youngster for the Kolar parliamentary constituency. I spoke to the people of the district, and they are grateful for the five guarantee schemes of the Congress government. These are the five guarantee schemes promised by Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar during the Assembly elections,” he said.
“Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi have announced 25 guarantee schemes under 5 Nyay schemes if Congress party comes to power in the Centre. This is the guarantee cheque of the Congress party. A woman of the house will get Rs 1 lakh per year on the lines of Gruhalakshmi scheme. Youth will get a stipend of Rs 1 lakh per year. MGNREGA workers will get a wage of Rs 400 per day. Farmers will get MSP, loan waiver, and insurance of Rs 25 lakh. Congress party will provide social security to all the people,” he explained.
“BJP hasn’t given tickets to half of its sitting MPs from the State, and that shows its insecurity. BJP will not be able to win even 200 seats in the country. Congress government will come to power in the Centre, and it will benefit all of you,” he said.
“We have started the campaign by offering prayers to Lord Ganesha at Kurudumalai. We have walked the talk in the previous election. Now, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi have made many promises to make your life better, and they will be delivered promptly. Congress candidate Gautam is educated and wise. He will take everyone with him. All of you must support him like the son of the district,” he added.”
