CM Siddaramaiah thanks Congress high command for inducting him in party's manifesto panel
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday expressed his gratitude to the Congress president for appointing him as a member of the party's manifesto committee.
In a statement, he said, ''I thank AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge for appointing me as a member of the Congress Party's manifesto committee for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.'' The chief minister said the country recognises the Karnataka model of governance.
''Today, people across the country recognise our government's 'Karnataka Model' of governance as a non-partisan benchmark. Being given the opportunity in the manifesto drafting is an honour I perceive as AICC's recognition of this 'Karnataka Model of Governance,'' he explained.
"A party's manifesto is not just a list of promises to the voters. It is a commitment we make to the people and implementing it is the true essence of governance," he wrote in the tweet. ''Our previous government had implemented more than 95 per cent of the promises in the manifesto, providing equal opportunity and balanced development, thereby earning the trust of the people. ''The current government is also going on the same path. I hope that in the coming days, the people of the country will also benefit from the advantages of the Karnataka Model of governance,'' Siddaramaiah said.
''I am thankful to the senior leaders of the party, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, for supporting all my welfare and infrastructure initiatives,'' the chief minister said. The Congress constituted its manifesto committee for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls on Friday and appointed former Union Minister P Chidambaram as its chairman.
The 16-member panel includes Siddaramaiah and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Man arrested in Hyderabad for impersonating police officer using AI videos
Hyderabad (PTI): A 27-year-old man was arrested in Hyderabad for allegedly impersonating a police official and uploading fabricated videos on social media platforms to gain followers, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, who worked as a delivery executive with a food delivery aggregator, created and circulated misleading videos using AI-based software.
He falsely depicted himself as a police official and showcased weapons, potentially causing panic and misleading the public, a release from Hyderabad Police said.
Police said it came to their notice that fake videos were being circulated on social media, showing individuals posing as police personnel and displaying weapons.
Upon preliminary inquiry, it was found that the videos were fabricated using AI software and did not represent any real police activity.
The accused unlawfully impersonated a police official and created deceptive digital content, which is a punishable offence under relevant provisions of law.
Such acts can erode public trust and create unnecessary alarm, the release said.
Acting on credible information, police teams apprehended the accused and seized a mobile phone used in the offence.
A case under relevant sections of the BNS and the IT Act, 2000, was registered at Kalapathar Police Station.
Further investigation is underway to determine whether any other persons were involved in the creation and dissemination of such content, police added.
