With this, the Congress government is fulfilling one more of its five poll promises which were guaranteed ahead of the Assembly elections in May.
Karnataka Budget: CM Siddaramaiah that the government will provide each household with an average additional financial assistance of Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,000 per month through the five "guarantees" (poll promises) in the Legislative Assembly.
Siddaramaiah alleged that the then Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy during whose stint (May 2018-July 2019) the caste-wise census report was prepared, scuttled its tabling by threatening the then Backward Classes Welfare Minister Puttaranga Shetty.
Karnataka: An acid attack survivor has been offered a job to work with CM Siddaramaiah at his secretariat on a contract basis.
Two of the five guarantees are yet to be implemented. Out of the remaining 3 guarantees, 2 are yet to materialize and the state-wide free bus service scheme launched for women in the name of Shakti Yojana has exposed the chaos.
Noticing that the government will satisfy all the poll promises, Siddaramaiah expressed, implementation of Congress' five guarantees will cost Rs 59,000 crore a year to the exchequer, and there is a marginally higher weight on the administration this year.
The stage is set to roll out one of the five promises (Guarantees) made by Congress. Siddaramaiah will launch the Shakti scheme on June 11.
Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has been given the responsibility of Bengaluru City.

Karnataka Congress: With MB Patil's statement and DK Shivakumar's reaction it seems all is not well within the newly formed government in Karnataka. Perhaps it is a beginning of a Shivakumar Vs Siddaramaiah 2.0.
