you may dismiss these schemes as populist measures and you may regret that they are harmful to the states and country, you may be right, but they are very good for victory in elections
congress promised free power and came to power in andhra pradesh
it is now promising rs. 2 kg rice in andhra too and will surely come to power again there
in karnatake too, it will come to power due to rs. 2 kg rice
waiver of farmer loans is another major factor
moreover karnataka has nearly 50% non-Hindus (muslims and christians), who will never vote for bjp
i have no doubt that congress will come to power in karnataka

congress promised free T V for all in gujarat election to defeat modi.what happened? it never worked out.similarly karnataka people will be wise to throw congress which is very desperate with cheap ideas borrowed from blind eyed old man whose people voted for him for freebees.
