PTI, Apr 16, 2024, 7:23 PM IST

The BJP on Tuesday slammed the Congress’ “Ghar Ghar Guarantee” outreach to people as a corrupt practice amounting to bribery and urged the Election Commission to stop the initiative.

The BJP said the initiative was unveiled on April 3 by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and its workers are distributing “guarantee cards” to households, presenting them application papers for accessing the party’s promised benefits.

“To further confound the wrong, the cards bear the promissory signatures of prominent leaders of the Indian National Congress, namely Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, as an official endorsement,” stated the BJP’s communication to the poll panel.
