The Congress on March 13 announced the “Nari Nyay” guarantee as part of its manifesto. Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi announced these guarantees while addressing a Mahila Sammelan in Maharashtra’s Dhule as part of his ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’.
Mr. Gandhi announced five guarantees, including ₹1 lakh annually into the bank accounts of poor women and 50% in government jobs if his party is voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Before Mr. Gandhi’s speech, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the party’s guarantees were “pathar ki lakeer” and not a “jumla”.
