Kumaraswamy's new gimmick: Rs 2 lakh for marrying farmers' sons

Former Chief Minister and JDS Legislature Party Leader HD Kumaraswamy announced yet another promise to voters ahead of the May 10 assembly elections in Karnataka.

This time, HD Kumaraswamy has made a unique promise to the farmers by claiming that the JDS, if voted to power, would give Rs 2 lakh to women who marry the sons of farmers.

"In Kolar district, several youths have given an application to me saying that women are not ready to get married to sons of farmers. To encourage women, we will give them Rs 2 lakh to marry farmers' sons. We will bring a scheme in this regard in the state," News9 quoted Kumaraswamy as saying at a rally.

His promise holds significance as some 200 bachelors from Mandya had earlier undertaken a 'Brahmachari Padayatre' to Male Mahadeshwara temple in Chamarajanagara district seeking divine intervention so that they find brides.

Reportedly, Mandya district is witnessing an acute shortage of brides for youths who are into farming.

"I received a petition that girls are not ready to get married to farmers' sons. To encourage the marriage of farmers' children the government should give two lakh rupees to the girls. This is one of the programs which will be introduced, to protect the self-respect of our boys," India Today quoted Kumaraswamy as saying.

HD Kumaraswamy has been projecting his JDS as a farmer-friendly party by announcing various schemes. Earlier, he promised a financial assistance scheme for families of farmers and waiving of loans of women self-help groups.

The former Karnataka CM, known as HDK in political circles, had said that poor will get medical assistance if JDS is voted to power. In addition to it, he wants to set up 30-bed hospitals with free dialysis in all panchayat centres.

The single-phase assembly election in Karnataka will be held on May 10 and the counting is on May 13.
