Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, during the party’s manifesto launch, framed the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as a contest between those safeguarding the Constitution and democracy against those attempting to undermine them. He highlighted the significance of the ideological battle and expressed confidence in the Congress’s prospects. Drawing parallels with past campaigns, he emphasized the unpredictability of electoral outcomes. The Congress manifesto, titled ‘Nyay Patra’, promises initiatives like guaranteeing the right to apprenticeship, ensuring a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP), and proposing a Constitutional amendment to raise reservation caps.
