evidence: A social media post claiming that the Karnataka Congress government has set multiple requirements to qualify for the free electricity scheme is doing rounds on social media platforms. Alleging that these conditions are not advantageous for the underprivileged, it emphasizes that individuals must meet certain criteria, such as not owning any land, not having any two-wheeler or four-wheeler vehicles, and not having their children enrolled in private schools, in order to be eligible for the scheme. Through this article let’s fact-check the claim made in the post. [...] Fact: Karnataka government has announced to roll out the scheme from 01 July 2023 and will be reflected in the bills of power consumers from the month of August 2023. However, contrary to the claim made in the viral post, all residential consumers within the state are eligible for the scheme. Even tenants living in rented houses are also eligible for the scheme. Government did not stipulate any conditions like not owning land or vehicles to avail the scheme. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE. Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Congress party, in its manifesto has promised to provide 200 units of free electricity to households in Karnataka. Following the election victory, in its first cabinet meeting the Congress government has granted in-principle approval to the Gruha Jyothi scheme.
