Congress 2024 Manifesto Offers 25 Guarantees & 5 Pillars Of Justice

Congress party has unveiled its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, titled ‘Nyay Patra’. With the overarching themes of 5 Justice and 25 Guarantees, the manifesto promises sweeping socio-economic reforms. Notably, the party pledges to conduct a nationwide socio-economic and caste census as a commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of marginalized communities. Additionally, the manifesto introduces the novel concept of the 'right to employment' for the youth, a significant departure from previous agendas. However, the feasibility of these ambitious promises and their fiscal impact remain subjects of intense scrutiny. To delve into whether the Congress poll promises are financially tenable, watch this discussion hosted by Siddharth Zarabi, Managing Editor, Business Today TV, with experts including Aditi Phadnis, Political Editor, Business Standard, Tushar Gupta, Political Commentator, Amrit Gill, Spokesperson, Congress and Santosh Mehrotra, Visiting Professor of Economics, University of Bath, UK. Separately, borrowing the words of former Bharatiya Janata Party stalwart, the late Sushma Swaraj, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a rally in Rajasthan’s Churu that unlike some parties BJP does not bring out a ‘ghoshna patra’ but a ‘sankalp patra’. “Unlike other parties, BJP does not just issue 'ghoshna patra', we bring 'sankalp patra',” said PM Modi in the rally. Sankalp refers to resolution, while ghoshna is announcement. PM Modi’s remark came after Congress released its manifesto that it dubbed ‘nyay patra’. Nyay is justice, and the Congress said that the broad theme of the manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 is justice. Congress stressed on 'Paanch Nyay' or five pillars of justice, including 'Yuva Nyay', 'Naari Nyay', 'Kisaan Nyay', 'Shramik Nyay', and 'Hissedari Nyay'.
