Jan 06, 2025
New Delhi [India], January 6 : Questioning Congress' 'Pyari Didi Yojana' for the upcoming Delhi Assembly Polls, Bharatiya Janata Party leader RP Singh said on Monday that the Congress has failed to fulfil its promises made in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana?
Speaking to ANI, Singh said, "Have the promises made in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana been fulfilled? Our track record in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra shows that we have fulfilled the promises we made. The people of Delhi know who keeps their promises after making them."
Earlier Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar announced the first of Congress' guarantees in the national capital, the "Pyari Didi" scheme, which will provide Rs 2,500 to women there.
Addressing a joint press conference with Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav, Karnataka Deputy CM Shivakumar said, "Today, I am here to launch the 'Pyari Didi' scheme. I am confident that Congress will form the govt in Delhi and we will provide Rs 2,500 to women, and it will be decided in the very first meeting of cabinet - on the same model that we implemented in Karnataka."
Shivakumar also said that whatever the party had promised they have delivered.
"Whatever we have promised Congress has delivered. Congress' strength is country's strength, Congress history is country's history," Shivakumar said.
Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav stated that his party has fulfilled all its promises, leading to an increase in people's faith in the party.
"Be it Karnataka, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan or Chhattisgarh, whatever promises we made, we have fulfilled them and somewhere because of this people's faith in Congress is increasing," Yadav said.
Yadav also took a veiled dig at Aam Aadmi Party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, saying that all the dreams he promised for the national capital are now falling apart.
The assembly elections in Delhi are likely to be held in February. Congress, which was in power in Delhi for 15 successive years, has performed poorly in the past two assembly polls, failing to win any seat.
AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eight seats.
