Congress leader Rahul Gandhi highlighted the impact of inflation on women, emphasizing the need for the guarantee schemes implemented by his party's government in Karnataka. During the launch of the Gruha Lakshmi scheme, which provides ₹2,000 to low-income women heads of households every month, Gandhi criticized the central government for its alleged focus on billionaires. The Congress aims to gain women's trust through initiatives like the Shakti scheme, which offers free rides for women on government buses. With an upcoming Lok Sabha election, the party is utilizing its pre-poll guarantees to maintain its position in Karnataka.
