Home Minister Amit Shah has criticized the Congress for not fulfilling election promises in states like Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana, referring to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s recent comments against reckless freebies. Shah urged Jharkhand voters not to fall for what he called “false promises” of the Congress. INDIA block ally Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) also warned voters against high-sounding but potentially unachievable election promises. Earlier, Kharge himself had advised Congress units not to make extravagant promises that would overburden budgets, a comment later used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to criticize the Congress, pointing to failed loan waiver promises and calling it a “fraud.” to the voters.” In response, Congress defended itself, arguing that the governed states are exemplary in keeping their promises. The question remains: will broken promises affect election results in Maharashtra and Jharkhand?
