“Congress Guarantees Have Always Been Fake”: Shiv Sena Leader Manisha Kayande

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande launched a scathing attack on Congress on Thursday, claiming that the party’s gurantees have always been “fake.”

She highlighted the various schemes across the different states Congress has been in power, including Telangana, Himachal, where the party had promises some amount to women through schemes.

“Congress’s guarantees have always been fake…in Karnataka, they would bring ‘Griha Lakshmi Yojana’ and would pay Rs 2,000, in Telangana they said they would bring ‘Mahalaxmi Yojana’ and would pay Rs 1,500, in Himachal Pradesh, they said they would give Rs 1,500, all if these were stopped. So the five guarantees they have are all lies, and when people won’t even elect them so why does it matter to them what promises they give?” she told media.

Earlier on Wednesday, ahead of the Maharashtra assembly election, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) announced five guarantees ahead of Maharashtra assembly polls at a joint rally here including Mahalakshmi Yojana for women under which Rs 3,000 will be given per month to one woman in every family and free bus travel for women.

The rally was attended by the Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Udhav Thackeray, Congress chief in Maharashtra Nana Patole, party leader Ramesh Chennithala and some other leaders of the alliance.

Rahul Gandhi announced Mahalakshmi Yojana for women. Under this scheme, Rs 3,000 will be given per month to one woman in every family. Besides, every woman will be entitled to free bus travel under the scheme.

The MVA promised to waive off all farmers’ agriculture loans up to Rs 3 lakhs. Besides, the alliance government will provide Rs 50,000 incentive for regular loan repayments.

The alliance also announced plans to carry out caste census and promised that it will work towards removing the 50 percent bar on reservations.

The MVA government will also provide health insurance of Rs 25 lakh to all families and essential medicines will be provided free from hospitals.

The fifth guarantee includes Rs 4,000 monthly assistance to the unemployed youth in the state.

The Maharashtra assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set to take place on November 23.
