hi, i read through the entire manifesto and while what you've included here is not false, it does appear to be cherry-picked to your interests. I'd highly recommend that everyone read or at least skim through the entire manifesto
They have also promised to pay one woman member of each family in India one lakh each. I’m guessing that would cover around 500 million people at least? I did the math. In USD that comes to USD 625,000,000,000 = USD 625 billion
I have always been a congress supporter, and was gonna vote for them until they started with this 'quota' politics. Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi - none of them wanted more quotas. Even Manmohan Singh govt never engaged in such petty politics. Now when Rahul Gandhi knows that raising issues like inflation/unemployment has not given them election wins, he and his ilk has decided to resort to the last plank i.e. caste. Dividing India on the basis of caste portraying general category to be the enemy. This insane person does not even know the long term repercussions. Central govt jobs already have 60% quotas (50% being caste based), where does the need to grant more quotas arise? What exactly will taking quotas to 80% achieve? Would the so called reputed educational institutions still be relevant, when they would only cater to castes and not merit? I belong to a government college and hypothetically, if all the reservations INC's manifesto seeks are implemented here alongside state's domicile quota, the number of unreserved seats left will be 8 out of 100.
What started out as a noble method to seek representation of oppressed communities has only reduced to a source of votebank politics. "Not winning elections? Impose a quota." Everyday, we have a new community demanding backward status and the political parties cater to them because otherwise how would they secure their votes. Marathas, Patidars, Jat quota agitations are the prime examples. The talk about imposing quotas on private educational institutions is super insane because I am sure the man does not know about Article 19. While in their speeches, he has even talked about imposing quotas on private jobs, the same is not mentioned in the manifesto just so he does not lose the 'vote-bank' of people handling businesses and corporates.
I really hope Congress is reduced to less than 30 seats this time around, so this man can take retirement and let party be with the few sensible leaders, who are still left in the party. The India of 2024 does not need this Congress. India needs to move forward. Any effort to slow it down must be resisted.
I by no means support hindutva politics of BJP but it seems like INC makes tall claims of uniting india against hegemony but simply wants to give BJP a shoe-in victory
peeps here have no shame when billions of corporate loans get waived at the cost of tax payers by invoking IBC & that led to filling coffers of Sadanis & Sambanis who funded electo bonds & these hypocrites start moaning when few thousands of students loan are getting waived. buggers had no issue when sheth ji gave EWS to savarna but have issues with backwards. Women's reservation is going to be horizontal & not vertical.
How the tuck they will fund the waiver of all loan more free money credited to poor people. Simple it will come back as increase in income tax rate, costly electricity, petrol, and other normal amenities. Inshorts middle class or lower middle class. Freebies im short will become burden for govt and this burden will pushed on people.
