In Melukote constituency, the Congress party has not fielded anyone and it extended support to Darshan Puttaiah of Sarvodaya Karnataka, a regional party.

On Wednesday, the Congress party has released the manifesto for the assembly polls and promised multiple welfare schemes for the people of Karnataka, if voted to the power. The party has proposed schemes like Gurha Lakhmi, Gruha Yojane, Yuva Nidhi, Anna Bhagya etc. The grand old party also promised that the state run bus rides will be made free for the women in Karnataka.

It also proposed Krishi Sarvodaya Nidhi, under which it will allocate Rs. 50 lakh crore in five years inorder to modernize the agriculture, subsidy, loan and insurance.

For women voters, the Congress promised to support 5,000 women entrepreneurs every year. It has also announced to nurture 5,000 Stree-Shakti micro-enterprises over five years and encourage them to take up modern needs like food processing, catering, mobile canteens, solid waste management etc.

Meanwhile, the BJP too focused on the welfare schemes in it's manifesto. The ruling party promised three free cooking gas cylinders every year to all BPL (Below Poverty Line) families in the state. Each cylinder will be provided during the months of Ugadi, Ganesh Chaturthi and Deepavali. The ‘Atal Aahara Kendra’ scheme will provide an affordable and hygienic food by setting up a canteen in every ward of all municipal corporations in the state. The manifesto also promised that every BPL family in the state will get a free half a liter of Nandini Milk every day.

The elections in Karnataka will be held on May 10 and the results will be declared on May 13. The BJP has also put out the list of 224 candidates for assembly elections.
