On Friday, the Congress released its manifesto barely weeks before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections kick off. The Congress’s Nyay Patra focused on caste census, employment for youths, restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood and a legal guarantee to MSP among others.

The Congress’s Nyay Patra was released today at the AICC headquarters in the presence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Rajya Sabha MP K C Venugopal.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, after the release of the party manifesto, said that the party manifesto will be remembered as ‘Nyay ka dastavez’ in the political history of the country. The Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, which was run under the leadership of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, focused on five pillars of the Yatra namely Yuva Nyay, Kisan Nyay, Naari Nyay, Shramik Nyay and Hissedari Nyay, he emphasised.

He added out of these five pillars, twenty-five guarantees emerged, and in every twenty-five guarantees, someone or the other gets benefited, under this, we have our manifesto here. The grand old party’s Paanch Nyay, five pillars of justice, included Yuva Nyay (Youth Justice), Naari Nyay (Women’s Justice), Kisan Nyay (Farmer’s Justice), Shramik Nyay (Workers Justice), Hissedari Nyay (Equity Justice). Kharge elaborated on all five pillars.

Speaking on the manifesto, Rahul Gandhi said that this election is about those who are trying to destroy the Constitution and destroy democracy in this country vs those who are trying to protect the Constitution and protect democracy in this country.

The Wayanad MP said that once this fight is won, Congress look after the interests of the vast majority of our people, ensuring that India is not run by 2 or 3 large conglomerates, that it is run by the vast majority of the people, that India is not a nation of monopolies, and that India is a nation where there is fair competition among businesses, he asserted. This election is a fundamentally different one. Gandhi said that he doesn’t think democracy has been as much at risk as it is today.

The party has said in its manifesto that it will abolish application fees for government examinations and government posts. Due to widespread unemployment, as a one-time measure of relief, the amount due including unpaid interest as of 15 March 2024 in respect of all student educational loans will be written off and the banks will be compensated by the government, Congress asserted.

The Congress party has promised to launch a Mahalakshmi scheme to provide Rs 1 lakh per year to every poor Indian family as an unconditional cash transfer. The poor will be identified among the families at the bottom of the income pyramid.

In its Manifesto, Congress has said that it will enact a separate legislation for the registration of sports federations/bodies/associations which will ensure full compliance with the Olympic Charter, allow for autonomy and full accountability, and provide recourse for members and sportspersons against discrimination, bias, sexual harassment, abuse, wrongful termination, etc. The party will provide sports scholarships of Rs 10,000 per month to talented and budding sportspersons below the age of 21.

The grand old party will reserve one-half (50 per cent) of central government jobs for women starting in 2025.

The central government’s contribution to pensions for senior citizens, widows and persons with disabilities under the National Social Assistance Programme remains a pitiful Rs 200 to Rs 500 per month. Congress will raise this amount to Rs 1,000 per month, Congress promised.

The party will give a legal guarantee to the Minimum Support Prices (MSP) announced by the government every year, as recommended by the Swaminathan Commission.

Notably, Congress said it will amend the Press Council of India Act, 1978 to empower the Council to deal with the menace of fake news and paid news.

Congress will amend the election laws to combine the efficiency of the electronic voting machine (EVM) and the transparency of the ballot paper.

He further added that BJP will never let another division of the country happen. Shah was addressing a Lok Sabha election rally in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh where he said the Congress and the Samajwadi Party preserved Article 370 for 70 years, due to which terrorism in the country increased.

Addressing the people Shah said they had made Modiji the prime minister for the 2nd time and he abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.  He compared the situation to earlier times in the valley, when the Army had to be taken along for hoisting the tricolour, at that same Lal Chowk (Jammu and Kashmir) to the situation now when the shobhayatra of Lord Krishna is being taken out. The rally was organised to garner support for B P Saroj, the BJP candidate from the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Jaunpur.

Shah further added that the divisive policies of the Congress want to divide the country again but BJP will never let that happen again. The Union Home Minister accused the grand old party of spreading lies that if PM Modi comes to power for a 3rd time at the centre then he will abolish reservation.

Shah Pointed out that the prime minister has been in majority for the last 10 years and he did not use it to abolish reservation. Shah said, he wanted to ask (SP chief) Akhilesh Yadav and (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi that when their government was in power for 10 years, what did Uttar Pradesh get in that period? The UPA government gave Rs 4.9 lakh crore to Uttar Pradesh in 10 years as compared to the NDA government which gave Rs 19.11 lakh crore.
