Asserting that the BJP’s guarantees for 2024 Lok Sabha polls would be another “India shining” moment, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on March 19 urged its office-bearers to ensure that the party’s 25 guarantees and five pillars of justice or paanch nyay reached every household in India.
After a three-hour discussion, the CWC approved the manifesto that will also include a section on electoral bonds. Former party chief Rahul Gandhi told the closed door CWC meeting that the electoral bond scheme had “exposed the BJP’s corruption and extortion tactics”.
Setting the tone and tenor of the meeting in his opening remarks at the CWC, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge asserted that the country was “fervently demanding a change”. “The guarantees currently being touted by the present government would have the same fate as that of the ‘India Shining’ slogan of 2004,” Mr. Kharge said.
