PM Modi On Congress Manifesto: In a veiled jibe at the Congress over its Lok Sabha poll manifesto, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that unlike other parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party does not just release a manifesto but comes up with 'Sankalp Patra'. While speaking at a public rally in Rajasthan’s Churu, the Prime Minister said that the saffron party always does what it says. He also asserted that most of the resolutions mentioned in the BJP’s 2019 ‘Sankalp Patra’ have been fulfilled.

"BJP definitely does what it says. Unlike other parties, the BJP does not just release a manifesto, we come up with 'Sankalp Patra'. Most of the resolutions we mentioned in 2019's Sankalp Patra have been fulfilled," PM Modi said. “Despite facing Covid for two years, Modi worked hard from head to toe to fulfill the promises that were made,” he further stated. 

The Congress on Friday released its Lok Sabha polls manifesto. The maifesto was released at the AICC headquarters in the presence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. It constituted several promises including Right to apprenticeship, a legal guarantee for MSP, passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs, a nation-wide caste census and scrapping of Agnipath scheme.

In the 45-page document titled 'Nyay Patra', featuring pictures of Kharge and Rahul and Bharat Jodo Yatras, the opposition party said it would implement 10 per cent quota in jobs, educational institutions for economically weaker sections (EWS) for all castes, communities without discrimination if it comes to power.
