He also announced that the party will hold two subsequent mega rallies in Jaipur and Hyderabad on April 6.
The Jaipur rally will be attended by: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. The Hyderabad rally will be attended by Rahul Gandhi.
In his post the Congress general secretary reaffirmed the grand old party’s focus on welfare and their ‘pro-development vision.’
“Our focus has always been on giving the country a welfare oriented, pro-development vision and that will be presented to the people for this election as well,” he said.
Congress manifesto reflects the voice of the people
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Saturday highlighted that the Congress had already released its ‘Paanch Nyay’ and ‘Pachees Guarantees’ on March 16, with the ‘Ghar Ghar Guarantee’ campaign, aiming to distribute eight crore guarantee cards nationwide, commencing on April 3.
“The BJP’s manifesto, begun at this last moment, is merely an exercise in ticking boxes. It reflects the contempt with which the party sees the public,” Ramesh alleged.
The Congress manifesto was compiled after carrying out nationwide consultations and after receiving thousands of suggestions via email and our ‘Awaaz Bharat Ki’ website, he said.
The Congress manifesto reflects the voice of the people, he said.
