BANGALORE: The Government will distribute title deeds to slum dwellers on October 2 (Gandhi Jayanti) to honour the promise made by former prime minister and JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda three years ago at the ‘Daridra Narayana Rally’ in Bangalore.

More than 20,000 title deeds will be distributed at a programme to be held at Palace Grounds which the JD(S) has planned to hold on Oct 2.

At the ‘Daridra Narayan Rally’ Gowda had said that October 2, 2004 was the deadline for the then Congress-JD(S) colaition led by Dharam Singh to distribute title deeds to slum dwellers.

On October 2, the JD(S) is planning to mobilise around 2 lakh people where the party’s achievements in the last 20 months would be highlighted.

The JD(S) is likely to use this platform to attack its coalition partner BJP for its alleged betrayal of the Raj dharma and coalition dharma policies.
