Congress manifesto’s focus is on inequality
Hindustan TimesThe Congress party’s 2024 Nyay Patra manifesto has listened to the troubles of tens of thousands of citizens across society and offered concrete solutions to our biggest problems — unemployment, high prices, the crushing of civil liberties and the corrosion of India’s public institutions. The Congress party — and indeed the next INDIA government — will address this gap by carrying out a Socio Economic and Caste Census that includes data on income and asset ownership. The Modi government never released the caste data collected by the 2011 SECC but has freely used its social and economic data covering 25 crore households for welfare schemes. When it appeared that the benefits of growth were not being widely dispersed, the Congress party built a social safety net in the form of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act and the National Food Security Act.
