‘Despite challenges Cong govt implemented guarantees'
Pushpa Amarnath
, vice president of the
Guarantee Schemes Implementation
Authority.
Despite numerous challenges and objections from opposition parties, the guarantees were successfully executed, benefiting 70 million residents, she said here at the Zilla Panchayat auditorium on Friday. Those who opposed the guarantees are now implementing them in other states, she claimed.
For women, these guarantees brought a second wave of independence, Pushpa claimed. The Shakti scheme allows them to move freely and fearlessly without any restrictions. The Anna Bhagya scheme alleviated hunger for millions. The Gruha Jyoti scheme is lighting up every household. The Yuva Nidhi scheme is a ray of hope for unemployed youth. The
Gruha Lakshmi scheme
enabled women to build self-reliant lives, she added.
In light of the govt completing two years in power, a Sadhana Convention is scheduled in Hospet on Tuesday.
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge
will inaugurate the convention, and all-party leaders, including chief minister Siddaramaiah, will participate. Presidents and members of the guarantee schemes committees from the eight districts of the Mysuru division will also attend, she said.

No source was provided. The OBBB, passed on July 3, 2025, in the House (218–214) after clearing the Senate on July 1 (51–50), allocates major funding to national defense , border enforcement, and tax relief . It includes an estimated $170 billion for border operations, $150 billion in military spending, and permanent extensions to 2017 tax cuts, alongside the removal of federal taxes on tips and overtime. Live Events 'Our country was cold as ICE… They were laughing at anything to do with our country,' Trump added, suggesting a shift in global perception during his time in office. Analysts estimate the bill could add $2.4–2.8 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office also projects that as many as 11 million Americans could lose health coverage due to spending offsets in the bill. While Republicans have promoted the measure as a pro-growth policy package, critics argue that the long-term fiscal implications could pose challenges. Trump's remarks reinforce the bill's alignment with his political branding: immigration control, economic liberalization, and increased defense capabilities.
