Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) State president H.N. Chandrashekar, popularly known as Mukhkya Mantri Chandru, said here on Saturday that the free schemes of the Congress were not reaching the beneficiaries.
Speaking to mediapersons, Mr. Chandrashekar said people of Karnataka threw out a corrupt government but it was replaced by a ‘’condition’’ government while the need of the hour is a ‘’commitment government’’ alluding to conditions stipulated for the free schemes by the Congress.
Mr. Chandrashekar said new conditions are being imposed by the government everyday and one wonders if the benefits are reaching the needy. The Congress has copied AAP schemes but has failed to acknowledge this. While AAP has not imposed any conditions, the Congress had done so, he added.
The BJP at the Centre also came under flak. Mr. Chandrashekar said that it was trying to paint the country with one colour, one religion and one language. Hence it was imperative to throw out what he described was an autocratic government
AAP will launch a Jana Jagruthi Abhiyana to create awareness among the public about prevailing corruption and the importance of good education, said Mr. Chandrashekar. He also urged the State government to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the farmers and make MSP to the agricultural produce are legally enforced.
State Joint Secretary Malavika Gubbivani and other office bearers of the party were present.
