Implementation of guarantee schemes alone cannot usher in development of Karnataka by Congress government, says Vijayendra

BJP State president criticizes Congress government in Karnataka for prioritizing guarantee schemes over development, causing stagnation.

BJP State president B. Y. Vijayendra strongly argues that implementation of guarantee schemes alone cannot be seen as ushering in development of the state by the Congress government in Karnataka. 

In an interview with The Hindu, he said people give top priority to development while judging the achievements of the government and that the Guarantee schemes come later. He alleges that development works have come to a standstill ever since Congress came to power in the state.
