New Delhi, April 5: At the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in Delhi on Friday, the Congress party released their manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

About the manifesto Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge stated “The Committee successfully ensured public participation in this exercise, rather than merely confining it to an academic one.

“Whatever has been promised in Manifesto will be strictly implemented. Before making promises in the Manifesto, in-depth deliberation has been made to ensure that these promises are implementable,” Kharge stated.
