Siddaramaiah rejects BJP allegations, defends guarantee schemes

Belagavi, Oct 4 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today refuted BJP allegations that the state government was misusing National Disaster Response Funds (NDRF), asserting that the funds were never used for implementing the Congress government's "five guarantee schemes."
Addressing reporters here, he said, "For the BJP, the five guarantees have become like jaundice. They are restless because of our schemes. They are even copying them in Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Haryana."
Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Siddaramaiah added, "He had said that guarantees cannot be implemented. Didn’t we do it? We will fulfill what we have promised."
