Priyanka Gandhi Took A Dig At The BJP
“I want to ask a question, under BJP government, has your life become better? Did anything change in your life? Look at past few years and evaluate your life before voting,” Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said.
“I have been told that situation in Karnataka is very bad, Rs 1.5 lakh crore money has been lost through corruption. PSI scam is really shameful, you educate your children and this is what you get from politicians in power,” she added.

The ‘Gruha Lakshmi’ scheme, would benefit 1.5-crore housewives, stated KPCC.
If voted to power, The Congress in Karnataka would give ₹ 2,000 a month to a housewife in every household. This is the guarantee given by the AICC general secretary to every woman in Karnataka, it was announced in the “Na Nayaki” event organised by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) at Palace Grounds.
“This scheme is for those women working day and night, helping build society. Women who head a household will get Rs 2,000 per month, which is Rs 24,000 a year, directly sent to your bank account,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
This income for every woman will help them run their household by overcoming the burden of price rise and increase in LPG prices. More than 1.5 crore women will benefit from this scheme.
She added, “Don’t you want education, government jobs? Don’t you want the freedom to make choice for yourself and family? Politics is your strength.”
