Congress promises minimum income to poor |
Congress party just ahead of the general assembly elections has promised minimum income to the poor in all the states if elected to power. In a major pre poll promise, Indian National Congress has announced that it would ensure `minimum income guarantee` to the poor if Congress comes to power after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Party president Rahul Gandhi on Monday announced in Chhattisgarh, “Congress has decided to provide minimum income to the poor in all the states. The poor will get a minimum income directly into their bank account. This scheme will be first of its kind in the world as no other country has introduced such a scheme so far”. Rahul Gandhi made the remarks at the `Kisaan Abhaar Sammelan` held in Chattisgarh to express gratitude to the state`s people, particularly farmers, for voting the party to power in the state after a gap of 15 years.
