Senior MLA RV Deshpande denies criticizing state government for people-friendly guarantee schemes
Karwar: Senior Congress legislator RV Deshpande has issued a clarification regarding his comments during an event at Dandeli recently, stating that he did not oppose but appreciated the guarantee schemes of the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led government.
Issuing a press release in reference to the event at Dandeli on Sunday, Deshpande said that Siddaramaiah was an experienced leader who was concerned about the welfare of citizens. The five guarantee schemes of the government reflect the CM’s spirit and efforts to uplift people from financially backward classes, the legislator added.
“Some people have misunderstood my words and it is unfortunate that they have spread the fake news that I oppose the guarantee schemes. I did not state at any point that the government is experiencing financial difficulties due to the schemes. I have praised the pro-people administration of Siddaramaiah’s government and not criticized it,” Deshpande has explained.
