Bengaluru. Shakti Scheme is in discussion these days in Karnataka. The reaction of Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy and CM Siddaramaiah has come to light on this. Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy has clarified that there is no question of scrapping the Shakti scheme of the state government. He said that the Shakti scheme will continue for the next three and a half years and thereafter for five years. We are in power, so this scheme will continue in the state for the next eight and a half years. We are not going to cancel or review this scheme. Women are happy using this scheme. He accused BJP of spreading false news. He said that DCM has received some emails. Please ask him for his statement. People traveling in BMW and Benz cars are giving such statements. State Chief Minister Siddaramaiah also clarified his position on Shakti Yojana. He said that some people have suggested that we can cancel the Shakti Yojana, but there is no such proposal.
I will discuss this matter with DK Shivakumar. Apart from this, Siddaramaiah also commented on the Waqf controversy. He said notices were issued even during his tenure. When I have already informed that we will take it back, what is the problem? Why are double standards being adopted in politics? He is doing this for all elections. BJP is here only for political gains, the real issues are nowhere. Giving information about the upcoming election campaign, he said that I will campaign from 4th to 11th. We will win on all seats. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar described the Karnataka Guarantee Model as an example for the entire country. He said that BJP and other parties are also adopting it. We take pride in implementing it.
