Rahul Gandhi unveils sixth guarantee in Karnataka

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asserted that the party's government in Karnataka has implemented the "sixth guarantee" promised to the people, by distributing over one lakh title deeds to the beneficiaries.He was speaking at an event in Hospete, to mark Karnataka Congress government's two years in office, during which over 1.11 lakh title deeds were distributed to eligible beneficiaries, whose "undocumented habitations" have been declared as revenue villages. Listing out the five guarantee schemes implemented by the government, he said, "We have told you that we will put money into the bank account of Karnataka's poor. Rupees thousands of crores are being put directly into your bank account. This money, you use for the education of your children, for your health. This is what we wanted -- your money comes back to your pocket."

कर्नाटक में चुनाव के वक्त हमने 5 गारंटी दी थीं, लेकिन आज 6 पूरी की हैं। एक लाख से ज़्यादा परिवारों को उनकी ज़मीन का मालिकाना हक़ दिया गया है।

यह कर्नाटक के भविष्य के लिए सबसे महत्वपूर्ण गारंटी है, जिससे करोड़ों परिवारों को, खासकर गरीबों, दलितों और आदिवासियों को, सीधा फायदा होगा।… pic.twitter.com/1vSqELdPoN
