Mangaluru, Jan 23: The Congress government in Karnataka has implemented all the five guarantees it had promised before the elections, proving that the party believes in the concept of Ram Rajya, state Minister for Health and Family Welfare Dinesh Gundu Rao said on Tuesday.
Addressing a Janata Darshan programme at Sullia, Rao, who is also Dakshina Kannada district-incharge minister, said the government’s schemes are aimed at empowering people by providing justice for all sections of society.
He said all the guarantees were implemented within a specific time frame and the benefits are reaching the common man, unemployed youth and women, who are the beneficiaries.

New York/Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has repeated his claim of resolving the India-Pakistan conflict and asserted that Islamabad's leadership credited him for saving millions of lives.
"We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India. And the head of Pakistan, a highly respected General, he's a Field Marshal and also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more...,” Trump said Monday.
He made these remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, flanked by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. That war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more. So we solved all these wars. The only one I haven't solved yet is Russia, Ukraine,” he said.
