Ahead of the meeting, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said "These are the guarantees by the Congress party and not by a single person" in an obvious jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi who has been claiming to provide "Modi ki guarantee".

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) today extensively discussed the Congress Manifesto for the 2024 elections.

Since 1926, the Congress Party’s Manifesto has stood as a testament to trust and commitment.
