Priyanka Gandhi Vadra announces five guarantees for election-bound Madhya Pradesh

Jabalpur/IBNS: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Monday launched the election campaign for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh assembly polls to be held later this year and announced five guarantees for the people of the state.

She launched the campaign in Jabalpur district and also addressed a public gathering on the occasion.

Talking about the five guarantees, Gandhi said, "A monthly aid of ₹ 1,500 will be given to every woman in the state, an LPG gas cylinder to each household at ₹ 500, 100 units of electricity free and 200 units at half price, loans of farmers will be waived and will implement old pension scheme in the state."

Targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Congress leader said, "They (BJP) come here and make announcements, but do not fulfill them. They talk about double engine and triple engine. They used to say the same in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka but public has shown them that they should stop talking about the double engine and start working."

"Whatever promises our party made, we have fulfilled them in Chhattisgarh and Himachal Pradesh. Look at the condition of the Congress-ruled states and you (the public) will realise. When the Congress government came to power in Madhya Pradesh, a lot of work and development were done," she said.

In the last assembly polls, the Congress government came into power, but the BJP broke the government by horse-trading and formed their government. The mandate is being crushed on the basis of money power, Priyanka Gandhi said.

"There are so many scams going on in Madhya Pradesh. The list of scams here is longer than that of the list which was shown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi about abuses. There has been a scam even in the construction of the Mahakal Lok corridor in Ujjain. The BJP has done 225 scams in 220 months of rule in the state," the Congress leader added.

Taking a jibe at Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and said, "A few days ago Chief Minister Chouhan came here and made some announcement for women (referring to the announcement about increasing the monthly aid of Ladli Bahna Yojana) because elections are round the corner. He has been the Chief Minister for so many years, why not then?"
