Terming the Congress’s assurance of providing 200 units of free electricity to people if voted to power as “irresponsible, irrational”, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said Thursday the Opposition party was making such announcements out of desperation.
Many such announcements are expected from them ahead of the Assembly elections and this shows how low they can stoop to win the electoral race, Bommai told reporters. “It is (an) irresponsible, irrational decision. They (Congress) are desperate,” he said.
Bommai said it is clear that they cannot implement these decisions in the future. “Their objective is to win elections by making such false promises,” the Karnataka chief minister said, contending that the announcement by Congress was unlike that of the assurances of the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
