The People’s Model
Press Kit — v1.0
Everything a journalist needs to write about The People’s Model.
1. About us — boilerplate
The People’s Model (TPM) — is a governance platform for Karnataka. The manifesto proposes that the state does not need more schemes — it needs a working operating system. The platform is organised around five non-negotiable commitments to be delivered over a ten-year horizon, structured in three phases (Foundations 0–100 days / Year 1, Build-out Years 2–5, Consolidation Years 5–10).
Boilerplate paragraph (drop-in for any article)
“The People’s Model (TPM) — is a Karnataka-wide governance platform built around five non-negotiable commitments: a single state operating spine; outcome budgeting and open contracting; state capacity over contractor dependency; a 24/7 governance engine; and digital rights as default. The full manifesto is published at the party website (URL on the press-kit page) with downloadable Volumes I–III. The current cycle is c0626 (June 2026).”
