Congress Congress chooses Karnataka formula to fight upcoming elections in Madhya Pradesh
Bhopal/IBNS: After its electoral success in Karnataka, the Congress is eyeing to use the same formula in Madhya Pradesh, be it offering freebies to alleging corruption charges against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Congress leaders said the party is determined to make a comeback in Madhya Pradesh.
The BJP has also changed its strategy to counter the Congress's new line of attack.
"Today, I'm giving some guarantees that we will fulfil 100 per cent. We made this promise to the people of Karnataka. The government there passed the bill as soon as it came to power," Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said at a rally in Jabalpur on June 12.
"Every month, women will be given ₹ 1,500. Gas cylinder will be available for ₹ 500 and 100 units of electricity will be free. The cost of 200 units will be halved. The old pension scheme will be implemented in Madhya Pradesh and poor farmers in heavy debt will get complete loan waiver," she said, explaining the five guarantees that will be implemented in Madhya Pradesh if Congress comes to power.
For Madhya Pradesh too, Congress has made Randeep Surjewala in-charge of the state. Surjewala was earlier the party's Karnataka in-charge.
With the big mandate in Karnataka, the Congress strategist for the southern state, Sunil Kanugolu, has also been tasked to bring similar results in Madhya Pradesh.
