Kalaburagi, Karnataka: Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge claimed there is no ‘Modi ki guarantee’ and the BJP is “copying” the Congress guarantees already implemented in Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, while he pointed out there is an invisible under-current in favour of ‘INDIA’ bloc across the country. Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge was addressing a rally in Kalaburagi on April 12, 2024.

Alleging that the central government has failed to make any contribution to Karnataka, he said, “What is your (BJP’s) guarantee? Now, he (Modi) is going around saying ‘Modi ki guarantee’, “Where is your (BJP’s) guarantee? Tell us.”

“If poor people are surviving, it’s because of MGNREGA and the five guarantees of the Congress government in Karnataka,” he said. “There is an undercurrent. It’s not visible. Why is Modi touring so extensively these days? Because there is an undercurrent in favour of the INDIA bloc. That’s the reason he is going to narrow lanes and holding road shows,” Congress President said.

Central investigating agencies such as the ED and the Income Tax Department are being “misused to force the corrupt to join the BJP”, he alleged.
