“Guarantees reaching people without any discrimination, middlemen,” says Min. Lakshmi Hebbalkar
Belagavi: “The Congress government headed by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is working hard for the development of all races and the purposes of the five guarantee implemented for the people has been successful,” said Karnataka’s Minister of Women and Child Welfare Lakshmi Hebbalkar speaking at a conference on guarantee schemes held at Guru Bhawan, Savadatti in Belagavi on Friday.
The Minister also expressed that, “the Congress has delivered as promised before the assembly elections, all five guarantee schemes were implemented in just 100 days after coming to power.”
Hebbalkar further stated that the Congress government’s guarantee schemes are reaching the public impartially, without any discrimination and without the burden of any middlemen. “The Congress had announced implementation of five guarantee schemes for the benefit of those people who faced financial trouble, price hikes due to the pandemic.”
Highlighting the impact of the Grilahakshmi Yojana, Hebbalkar noted, "Savadatti Constituency is receiving 15.99 crore per month, totaling 192 crores annually, which will exceed a thousand crores in five years.

BJP is unnecessarily spreading slander about the schemes.” She further appealed to the people not to listen to such speculations and bless the government in the coming days.

CM Siddaramaiah says no decision taken on 4 per cent Muslim reservation in govt tenders
Mysuru (Karnataka), Nov 13: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said there was a demand for four per cent reservation for Muslims in government tenders, but no decision has been taken yet on it.
Prominent Muslim leaders, including Karnataka Minister for Municipal Administration and Hajj, Rahim Khan, Congress MLAs and MLCs wrote to the chief minister on August 24 demanding to consider giving four per cent reservation to socially and economically backward Muslims in government contracts. The chief minister wrote on the petition on August 31 that the file should be put up, sources said.
"There was a demand for four per cent reservation, but we have not taken any decision yet," Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
When asked about the BJP raking up this issue, he said, "The BJP wants to communalise everything. Their job is to create a rift between Hindus and Muslims. Did they ever wish peace in society?"
BJP state president B Y Vijayendra termed the purported move unhealthy.
"In a bid to woo the Muslim community, the @INCKarnataka government is going to give reservation in contracts as well, which will damage the health of a harmonious society," he said in a post on ‘X’.
He said it had become inevitable to protest against such stances of the Congress government.
Former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar alleged in his post on social media 'X' saying what seemed like "shameless appeasement politics" to be a "cover for Congress corruption machine".
