Lok Sabha Elections 2024: A few days are left for the Lok Sabha elections. Before that Congress released its manifesto. MP and former party president Rahul Gandhi termed the Congress manifesto as ‘revolutionary’ and said that it can change the face of the country. He said that this manifesto can bring change in the lives of the poor, farmers, youth and women of the country.
The Congress leader was addressing a public meeting at Tukkuguda on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Saturday evening to release the Telugu version of the party’s election manifesto, which was unveiled in Delhi on Friday. Highlighting the five guarantees in the manifesto, Rahul Gandhi said that they will be implemented in the country in the same way as the party implemented the guarantees given in Telangana.
“We have shown in Telangana…”
Rahul Gandhi said, “We have shown in Telangana that whatever the Congress promises, it delivers.” He reminded that a few months ago the party had issued a guarantee for Telangana from the same place. AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal, AICC in-charge for Telangana Deepa Dasmunshi, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, state ministers and party leaders attended the public meeting on Saturday.
“Unemployment rate highest in 40 years”
The Congress MP said the party’s manifesto reflects the voice and aspirations of the people of India. “At a time when the unemployment rate in the country is the highest in 40 years, the Congress regime in Telangana gave government jobs to 30,000 people, while another 50,000 people will get jobs soon,” he said. Saying that the Constitution of India protects all sections of people including Dalits, tribals, backward classes, minorities and the poor, he alleged that the BJP wants to abrogate the Constitution.
