'Gruha Lakshmi scheme will be stopped after by-elections': Former PM HD Deve Gowda
In a sharp critique of the Karnataka Congress government, former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda accused the administration of financial mismanagement and electoral irregularities. While campaigning for NDA candidate Nikhil Kumaraswamy in Channapatna, Deve Gowda alleged that the Congress government has bankrupted the state treasury, suggesting the government deposited funds under the Gruha Lakshmi scheme in women’s bank accounts solely for electoral gains in the Channapatna by-election.

Deve Gowda claimed that the Congress administration is misusing the Gruha Lakshmi guarantee scheme, asserting, "After the election, they will halt these deposits." He further criticized the state government for its inability to address issues like potholes in Bengaluru, which he described as a “steam-rolling concern” for the public.
Promoting Nikhil Kumaraswamy as the candidate for change, Deve Gowda referenced the development legacy of his son, HD Kumaraswamy, who reportedly invested Rs 1,600 crore in Channapatna to improve irrigation and infrastructure. Calling Kumaraswamy a “Bhagirath” of Channapatna, he credited his leadership for establishing the Iggalur Dam, which serves 17 lakes in the region.
