What's in the Congress manifesto?

The Congress manifesto is a comprehensive plan that promises to bring significant changes. It pledges to create 30 lakh jobs in the central government, provide 1 lakh rupees annually to women from low-income families, ensure legal status for MSP (Minimum Support Price), set a minimum wage of 400 rupees per day under MGNREGA, prevent misuse of investigative agencies, and amend the PMLA law. It also commits to implementing the Sachar Committee recommendations.

What guarantees are there in the Congress manifesto?

The Congress manifesto stands out with its five principles of justice: 'Partnership Justice,' 'Farmer Justice,' 'Women Justice,' 'Labor Justice,' and 'Youth Justice.' Under 'Youth Justice,' it offers unique promises such as providing 30 lakh government jobs and a one-year training program with a stipend of one lakh rupees to youths.

The Congress promises to conduct a caste census under 'Partnership Justice' and eliminate the 50% cap on reservations. Under 'Farmer Justice,' they aim to give MSP legal status, set up a debt waiver commission, and promise GST-free farming. 'Labor Justice' pledges health rights for workers, ensuring a minimum wage of 400 rupees per day and guaranteeing urban employment. Under 'Women Justice,' the manifesto includes the 'Mahalakshmi' guarantee, providing one lakh rupees annually to women from low-income families, among several other commitments.

Congress Campaign:

Before the manifesto release, Congress initiated the 'Household Guarantee Campaign.' Under this campaign, Congress workers will distribute guarantee cards to 8 crore families across India over the next few weeks. Each card will contain information about the five principles of justice and 25 guarantees declared by Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.
