BJP vs Congress Manifesto Deep Dive: Which Manifesto Promises Growth?

As India gears up for the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress and BJP have unveiled their respective manifestos, as the 'Nyay Patra' and 'Sankalp Patra' respectively. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Modi's Guarantee 2024' manifesto targets poverty alleviation, women empowerment, and international relations, contrasting with Congress' Nyay Patra which also promises employment incentives and workplace safety reforms. The Congress' Nyay Patra focuses on economic policies and welfare programs, promising to fill 30 lakh government vacancies and adopt cashless insurance for universal healthcare. Meanwhile, BJP's Sankalp Patra prioritizes national security, agriculture, and women empowerment, aiming to extend health coverage for seniors, increase loan limits, and reduce electricity bills.
