Congress Manifesto Promises Statehood for J&K, Scrapping Agnipath | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India's main opposition party Congress has released its manifesto ahead of general elections later this month. The manifesto, which is being called Nyay Patra, has 25 guarantees under five "pillars of justice". Though election manifestos are not legally binding, they do offer insights on policy direction. The Congress is promising to restore statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, scrap the Agnipath military recruitment system and legally guarantee a Minimum Support Price for farmers. Other guarantees include legalising same-sex marriage and removing the current government in the state of Manipur. The ruling BJP has called the manifesto a "bundle of lies". Palki Sharma brings you the top 10 highlights.

Reservation more than 50%?? Seriously?? That’s why real talent is leaving India, when u put those undeserved people

[JJay]

MSP + 1lakh every year = Total Then where is development, Infra, Defence...🙄🙄🙄🙄

[metromaster]

Reservation?? Give them all, why only 50% WTF why are we living here? Telent has no position in India I suppose..

[killereditsbupesh]

Congress accuses BJP division in religion. But they want divide in caste, they conduct bharat jodo yatras, Such an irony.

[lakshaypanwar]

Instead of removing cast and Quota system and moving towards Equality they want to encourage it even more.
Already Thousands of worthy candidates get held back because of being General.

[atomwaffen]

I'm 100% sure, they will bring India from 5th largest economy to 20th largest economy and make India like Zimbabwe or Sri Lanka

[Kannadiga-rn]

No words on artificial intelligence, railway, airports, bus stations infrastructure,
No words on Roads, ports,
No words on Naxalism
These are enough for me vote BJP.
Forget about financially unviable freebies

[sarangaswar]

Communist and socialist ideas has led to downfall of USSR. Congress must learn from it

[riddle]

Please make note people- if you ever want to write a book on “how to sell a country”

[PakPhorenMinistr]

Let them first declare their PM candidate. Will it be Rahul or Mamta or Kejriwal or Xi jing ping?

[amitmehta]

Not even a single issue related to technology advancement, Infrastructure, Digital world, railways, economic empowerment, renewable field, sustainable caste census, reservation, freebies, LGBTQ rights, personal law amendment, increase in ties with china and maldives ... Is that really a manifesto for a 8.4% growth economy?

[dheerajr]

My vote is for bjp as i belong to general category.... seing reservation increasing will even affect my future bloodline...😢😢

[Canyouseemeanna]

People were sick of this kind of politics and that is why the congress was voted out. Why do they not understand this simple fact? People want progress not handouts. This might work in states with low level of education but it will not work for the entire nation. Is it so difficult for them to introspect? The world is talking about AI and this party and its manifesto is stuck in previous century.

[flyhigh]

Congress gave Tibet to China
Congress gave PoK to Pakistan
Congress gave Aksai Chin to China
Congress gave Tibet to China
Congress gave Kachatthevu islands to Sri Lanka
Then they start Bharat Jodo Yatra

[jagadeeshks]

Congress never learns!

Its ideology is not geared towards strengthening the economy by supporting capitalists! Its straight contrast to it!

Even if they win India will lose! 😢

[Atul_Thakur]

this manifesto is the reason to vote for BJP

[abhia]

We should give congress to china for free.

[shikharagnihotri]

I'll be honest, If(and it's a huge IF) they "BY CHANCE" come to power in 2024 and if they really increase the caste quota more that 50%(which already is an overkill imo), I will leave this country. I love India in my heart but if they wanna punish me for being a general class citizen who can't fairly compete in his career opportunities even if his qualifications are far ahead of the quota holder then I don't know what to do anymore.

[priyankashahapur]

Don't believe their promises, Now karnataka suffering from that promises, and increased 10% of tax to pay free 2000 rupees to women. They are louting our karnataka and temples everything😢😢

[MaroonRays]

Congress- just divide India into caste, rest no need to do anything
