“CONGRESS party has prepared its manifesto after a lot of thinking and taking opinion of the people. Congress’ manifesto is thus the voice of the common people.

Rahul Gandhi also declared to fill 30 lakh vacancies in government services, scrap ‘Agniveer’ scheme and give benefit of Rs 1 lakh annually to women from poor families, if I.N.D.I. Alliance is voted to power. Therefore, people should vote for the candidates of the alliance, he appealed. “The people of SC, ST and OBC had very less representation in the Government in proportion to their numbers. They should get representation in accordance to their population and hence Congress party is demanding caste-based census which will bring the reality to the fore,” Rahul Gandhi said. “This Modi-led Government is not working for the people but is working for a few select corporate houses and is the government of Adani in reality. Today, there are 22 billionaires holds the wealth in country which is equal to the wealth of 70 crore Indians. Modi should tell what he has done for the poor and under-privileged people in his ten years tenure,” Gandhi questioned adding that, the Prime Minister just speaks of Hindu -Muslim unity but creates rift among them.
