THE JHARKHAND STORY DESK
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.
The party’s manifesto named ‘Nyay Patra’ was launched in the presence of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congressional Parliamentary Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, and other leaders.
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. It held extensive consultations in different parts of the country and submitted a draft to me on March 6, 2024,”
Kharge mentioned that feedback and opinions were also sought through an online website named “Awaaz Bharat Ki.”
“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.
