The Mint Manifesto: The 10-point agenda for Lok Sabha Elections 2019
Live MintNo spectre need loom over the country for citizens with common concerns to publish a manifesto, an agenda for action that might capture the popular will better than other options on offer. The 2019 Lok Sabha elections, which many consider crucial to India’s future, are reason enough to venture such a grand—and fallible—set of proposals. This cannot be done without a glance at the ideals we began with, if only to see what aspects of our first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s “tryst with destiny”, his party’s pledge, are yet to be redeemed “in full measure”. A Chunaav Ghoshna Patra of the Congress for the 1957 polls, available at Delhi’s Nehru Memorial Museum, expounded on the aim of a “New India”, a “modern country that will relieve those in pain and assure everyone an equal chance to progress”, calling it a “courageous” project guided by socialist and democratic principles. It took an opening up of India’s closed economy two decades later for a far more favourable remix of the system to emerge and grant India another chance to get on with fulfilling promises.
