The Congress party held its meeting of the Central Working Committee on Tuesday to discuss and give a final shape to its manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The meeting, which is underway at party headquarters in Delhi, is being attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, MP Rahul Gandhi, and party leader Priyanka Gandhi among other senior leaders.
The draft manifesto carries the five 'guarantees' for justice which include: 'Bhagidari Nyay', 'Kisan Nyay', 'Nari Nyay', 'Shramik Nyay' and 'Yuva Nyay', listing five guarantees for each 'nyay'.
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".
Following the meeting, the Congress leader said that the party was "absolutely ready" for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"In the meeting today, there were discussions on our agenda. For the last 63 days, Rahul Gandhi has been talking about our 5 Nyay and has announced 25 guarantees...This is not just a simple manifesto but an important 'Nyay Patra' so that the people of our country can see a better future...," Ramesh said.
Taking to social media X, party president Mallikarjun Kharge said that the CWC meeting "deliberated thoroughly on the Congress Manifesto."
"Right from 1926, Congress Party’s Manifesto has been regarded as a document of trust and commitment," he added.
