Congress CMs contest BJP's charge about not keeping poll promises

The Congress on Saturday fielded two chief ministers and a deputy CM to counter the BJPs accusation that the party was rolling back policies in states ruled by them.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar held a news conference in which they emphasised the continued implementation of social measures in their respective states. The developments come as the BJP issues advertisements stating that the Congress has scaled back the schemes in their respective states.

"I was shocked to see the fake advertisements of the BJP, so I have come here to show that not only are all our schemes that we promised continuing in our state but we would also like to invite all the three (ruling) parties to come to our state to see it, "stated DK Shivkumar, Karnataka's Deputy CM.


Himachal CM Sukhu said, " We have implemented all our guarantees like the old pension scheme."

Telangana CM Revanth Reddy said that immediately after they came to power the farm loan waiver was given that has benefitted 22 lakh farmers.
