Following the landslide victory of Congress in the Karnataka assembly election, party’s president Mallikarjun Kharge assured the people on Sunday that the party will fulfill all five promises made to the public in the party’s manifesto after the formation of the cabinet.
During the Karnataka Assembly elections, the Congress tried to keep the narrative focused on local issues. The Congress placed a high value on its five guarantees – Gruha Jyothi, Gruha Lakshmi, Anna Bhagya, Yuva Nidhi, and Shakti – with party leaders promising immediate implementation if the party is elected.
While talking to the reporters, Kharge said, “People of Karnataka have rejected BJP and brought the Congress party back to power. People have given us a record number of votes. We will implement all 5 promises that we made to the public in our manifesto after we form our cabinet.”
“CLP meeting will be held today and will hand over the report to the high command after which the high command will take its time to declare the name of the Chief Minister of Karnataka,” Kharge added.
Kharge appointed three observers in Karnataka for the election of the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader in the state on Sunday, including former Maharashtra chief minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and party leaders Jitendra Singh and Deepak Babaria.
Meanwhile taking to his social media, KC Venugopal said, “Congress President has deputed Sushil Kumar Shinde (Former Chief Minister, Maharashtra), Jitendra Singh (AICC GS) and Deepak Babaria (former AICC GS) as observers for the election of the Congress Legislative party (CLP) Leader of Karnataka.”
