hief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the poor people of the state have survived the hardships even during drought due to our guarantee schemes.
He was speaking after stone laying function for the Thimmapur Lift Irrigation Project, Jal Jeevan Mission (DBOT) project and other development works in Sindhanur constituency.
The BJP is not able to digest the fact that we have implemented all the five guarentees.Modi had said that the State would get financially bankrupt.But his words are again proven wrong,he said.
120 crore women have traveled by bus for free. Rs.2000 each every month is transferred to the account of 1.16 crore women.Thus every family is saving 5-6 thousand rupees per month,the CM explained.
We Kannadigas give 4 lakh crores of tax to the center every year.But the Center gives back 52 thousand crores only.
Even in the time of drought distress,the Centre has not released a single rupee.The CM called upon the people of the state to question the BJP MPs.
The CM said that even if the central government does not come to the rescue the people,we will not leave their hands.
The previous BJP government misappropriated the funds in the name of irrigation.But we will provide essential irrigation facilities to the people of the state.
Sindhanur has got 80% irrigation facilities till now. MLAs are committed to provide 100% irrigation.Our government is committed to provide all cooperation and uplift the lives of farmers.Our government is ready to build the Navile Balancing Dam,the CM assured.
