Karnataka CM Shivakumar Links Congress Welfare Model to Trump’s $5,000 Proposal
Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar claimed that welfare schemes introduced by the Congress government in Karnataka have inspired similar initiatives in several Indian states and even US President Donald Trump's proposed $5,000 payment to American adults. Shivakumar highlighted that states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar have adopted comparable models. He described this as a sign of the Congress party's influence and noted global attention on its principles. Trump announced the payment ahead of the US midterm elections, though details remain limited.
