The former Minister C.T. Ravi has said that the guarantee schemes of the State government are limited to vote-bank politics and they will not make much impact on the electorate.
Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, he said that the Congress is behaving as if it has taken patent for the term, guarantee, and it is doing so as it is not sure of getting votes in the name of its leader Rahul Gandhi.
He said that the Congress’ guarantee schemes are nothing but false assurances. The party has no long-term programmes to benefit the people, he added.
