Congress To Release Manifesto For Lok Sabha Polls Today
Congress leaders are poised to unveil the party's manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections on Friday, with a sharp focus on the five 'pillars of justice'.
Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, alongside former party presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, will be responsible for releasing the manifesto, marking a significant moment in the party's electoral campaign.
Following the manifesto launch, Kharge and the Gandhis will embark on a series of public rallies in Jaipur and Hyderabad, where they will elucidate the manifesto's core tenets to the public.
At the heart of the manifesto lies the concept of 'Paanch Nyay' or the five pillars of justice, encompassing 'Yuva Nyay', 'Naari Nyay', 'Kisaan Nyay', 'Shramik Nyay', and 'Hissedari Nyay', along with the party's commitments to the electorate for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
In a groundbreaking move, the Congress will introduce a pledge for the youth: the 'right to employment', a promise aimed at addressing the aspirations and concerns of the younger demographic. Furthermore, the party is contemplating advocating for stringent penalties against those implicated in examination paper leaks, signalling its commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the education system.
This emphasis on youth engagement underscores the Congress' strategy to appeal to this crucial demographic ahead of the elections.
Additionally, the manifesto will advocate for robust legislation and punishment for individuals found guilty of perpetrating paper leaks nationwide. It will also propose measures to enhance transparency in government recruitment processes, signalling the party's commitment to accountability and fairness.
The unveiling of the manifesto represents a pivotal moment in the Congress' electoral strategy, outlining its vision for governance and social justice in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
RBI To Announce Decision Of Rate-Setting Panel On Monetary Policy
The Reserve Bank's monetary policy panel commenced its three-day discussions on Wednesday regarding the forthcoming set of monetary measures, amid widespread anticipation that the central bank will opt to maintain the key interest rate unchanged, directing its focus towards inflation management while addressing concerns regarding economic growth.
Chaired by Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) is set to announce its decision on Friday.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last adjusted the repo rate to 6.5 percent in February 2023 and has since maintained the rate at that level in its preceding six bi-monthly policy meetings.
Experts say that the MPC may draw insights from the policy stances adopted by key global central banks, such as those in the United States and the United Kingdom, which currently appear to be adopting a cautious approach, observing developments before considering any adjustments to interest rates.
