On Wednesday, 30 August 2023, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi arrived in Bengaluru ahead of the launch of the Gruha Lakshmi Yojna in Mysuru.

Congress-ruled Karnataka government will roll out the 'Gruha Lakshmi' scheme as one of the five poll promises made by the Congress during its election campaign.

This scheme will be rolled out in Mysuru in the presence of state CM Siddaramiah and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge among other senior leaders of the party.

Under the scheme, the state government will provide Rs. 2000 monthly assistance to the woman head of BPL families.

According to KC Venugopal, Congress General Secretary, it will be the "world's largest-ever welfare scheme for women".

"Through this revolutionary scheme, the Karnataka government led by Siddaramiah will distribute Rs. 2000 to 1.28 crore women. When Women are empowered-India is stronger," he said in a post on X.

1.28 crore female family heads are expected to receive this financial aid deposited directly into their bank accounts.

Earlier, Congress during its poll campaign in Karnataka had announced the five main guarantees to the people of Karnataka.

Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar said that the state government was walking the talk it had made during the election campaign.
