Kharge while addressing a rally in Telangana’s Sangareddy on Sunday said that we have fulfilled four of five guarantees in Karnataka.And we will soon implement the fifth guarantee.
He attacked Telangana Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao saying “KCR ji kept doing whatever he wanted and asked “who benefitted from it?” “Did students, women and farmers benefit? That’s why the Congress party is giving you six guarantees,” he said.
Kharge also hit out at the ruling BJP and said that instead of giving 18 crore jobs in the last nine years, BJP is distributing certificates for a mere 3,000-4,000 jobs.
“Instead of giving 18 crore jobs in the last nine years, BJP is distributing certificates for a mere 3,000-4,000 jobs. They are ruining the future of the country’s youth,” Kharge added.
UPA government brought welfare schemes like MGNREGA, Right to Education, Food Security, Health Mission, still BJP questions our achievemnts, Kharge said.
“BJP leaders keep on asking – what has Congress done in 70 years? Did BJP bring Independence for the country? Now ‘B’ team of BJP – BRS – has also started asking such questions. It was the Congress party which fought for our independence,” Kharge added.
