00:00 This declaration will be remembered as a document of justice in the history of the country's politics.
00:10 As we approach the crucial date of 19th April 2024, marking the beginning of the first phase of the voting process,
00:19 political parties are now stepping into spotlight, laying out the grand vision for the nation.
00:24 This pivotal document, also known as the manifesto, outlines their commitment, promises and plans for governance if elected.
00:32 In the upcoming next 15 days, all the political parties are going to present their manifestos,
00:38 with each one to capture the electorate's attention with their specific proposals.
00:43 Today, the Congress Party took the lead officially by launching its manifesto, also titled as Nyaya Patra,
00:50 setting the tone for the election promises.
00:54 In a ceremonial event held at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, esteemed party leaders,
00:59 including party chief Malik Arjun Kharge, alongside former presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, unveiled the party's manifesto.
01:07 Titled as Paanch Nyaya, or the Five Pillars of Justice, the manifesto focuses on Yuva Nyaya, Nari Nyaya, Kisan Nyaya,
01:15 Shramik Nyaya and Isse Dhaari Nyaya, outlining the promises for the Lok Sabha polls.
01:21 While releasing the party manifesto, the Congress Party also promised that they could take out 23 crore people out of poverty if elected.
01:30 Furthermore, the key pledges from the manifesto included filling the 30 lakh vacancies in central government posts,
01:37 adopting the Rajasthan model for universal healthcare, and ensuring legal guarantee of MSP annually,
01:44 as per the Swaminathan Commission recommendations on which the farmer protests were going on.
01:51 Congress also vows to safeguard minority rights, promising reform in personal law,
01:57 conduct a national socio-economic census, caste census, to surpass the 50% reservation cap for SC/ST and OBC communities through constitutional amendments.
02:08 Now you may understand why Congress Party is taking out the campaign Ginti Karo.
02:14 Additionally, the manifesto also promises abolishing application fees for government exams, writing off unpaid student loan amounts.
02:22 Also, they will recognise civil unions for LGBTQ couples and raise pension under the National Social Assistance Programme too.
02:31 Further commitments involve reserving 50% of the SC job for women, enacting legislation for sports federation compliance with the Olympic Charter,
02:41 and providing sports scholarships for young talents.
02:44 Congress also launched the Mahalaxmi scheme. Again, viewers take note because this is an attempt to lure women voters.
02:52 The scheme aims to provide unconditional cash transfer of 1 lakh rupees annually to impoverished Indian families.
02:59 While election laws would be amended too to merge electronic voting machine EVM with voter verifiable paper audit trial, VVPAT.
03:07 So, instead of pitching for the ballot paper election, which Congress has been doing for a long time,
03:12 Congress is now back focusing on EVM and VVPAT merging once again.
03:17 Congress is also pledging to protect the personal freedom related to food, dress, marriage, travel, and residence,
03:23 and is plotting to repeal laws infringing such liberties and make defection an automatic disqualification.
03:30 Furthermore, Congress is also pledging for amendments in the Press Council of India Act 1978 to propose and combat the fake and paid news.
03:39 The party aims to double GDP in the next decade to prioritise rapid economic growth and wealth creation.
03:46 The party's manifesto's comprehensive approach aims to address the socio-economic challenge and promote inclusive development if Congress secures victory in the upcoming elections.
03:56 However, as mentioned many times before, even in opinion polls, many times that this is going to be a long road.
04:02 Congress party has to do a lot and lots of job on the ground if they want to win the election, but that is a different thing.
04:08 The big news for right now is that Congress party has released its manifesto aka also known as the Nyayapad ahead of the general elections.
