In a strategic move aimed at appealing to the nation’s youth ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party is poised to introduce the ground-breaking concept of “Right to Employment” as a cornerstone of its electoral agenda for the 2024 general elections. Additionally, the party is contemplating stringent penalties for individuals found culpable in leaking examination papers, signalling a robust stance against academic malpractice.
Anticipation mounts as the Congress is expected to unveil its comprehensive poll manifesto during a public rally in Badanawar, Madhya Pradesh, today. The event, graced by esteemed Congress leaders including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and former chief Rahul Gandhi, will serve as a platform to announce key proposals awaiting finalization pending approval by the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
A party source revealed to a news agency that the initiative to grant the “right to employment” to the country’s youth marks a historic endeavor unparalleled even in developed nations. Furthermore, provisions for financial aid may also be extended to the youth under this scheme, underscoring the party’s commitment to fostering opportunities for economic empowerment.
In a bid to address concerns over academic integrity, the manifesto is expected to advocate for stringent legislation and punitive measures against individuals involved in paper leaks. This initiative stems from Rahul Gandhi’s emphasis on the challenges faced by students, particularly in states like Uttar Pradesh, where frequent paper leaks have disrupted academic processes.
Aligned with the party’s “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” led by Rahul Gandhi, the manifesto is poised to center around the concept of “5-nyay” (five pillars of justice), promising equitable access to opportunities and resources. Key aspects include legal guarantees for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the implementation of a caste-based census to ensure representation in government vacancies.
Furthermore, the manifesto underscores the Congress’s commitment to social welfare, with measures aimed at providing financial assistance to marginalized communities and ensuring their inclusion in state welfare initiatives. With recent electoral successes in states like Karnataka, Telangana, and Himachal Pradesh attributed to its welfare promises, the Congress aims to consolidate its appeal among diverse sections of society.
Led by a 16-member manifesto committee, including prominent figures such as Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and former union minister Jairam Ramesh, the party’s agenda prioritizes empowering youth, women, farmers, and the economically disadvantaged. The committee’s endeavors reflect the party’s vision for a transparent and equitable governance framework, poised to resonate with voters across the nation.
