Congress manifesto stirs controversy and backlash from BJP as elections approach
Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, comparing it to the ideology of the Muslim League. He accused the Congress of “appeasement” policies and trying to impose outdated ideas on modern India. Experts have pointed out similarities between the Congress manifesto and historical Muslim League documents.
The Congress’ ‘Nyay Patra’ promises to reform personal laws with community consent, a move that has drawn criticism from the government. The manifesto also talks about restoring Maulana Azad scholarships and ensuring freedom of choice for minorities. The Congress has faced backlash for its stance on personal choices related to food, dress, and marriage.
Despite the controversy, the Congress defends its manifesto as a reflection of the aspirations of the Indian people. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Centre of spreading falsehoods about the manifesto. The Congress says its promises are based on the principles of justice and have a positive impact on the nation.
The Congress manifesto has sparked a debate on issues of personal freedom, minority empowerment, and historical ideologies. The upcoming election will test the public response to these promises and the political discourse surrounding them. As the campaign intensifies, the Congress continues to defend its manifesto as a representation of the voice of India and its commitment to justice.
