Congress manifesto: Rahul Gandhi asks people to share feedback
In a video on Instagram, Rahul says he made the video after coming back from the rally in Telangana and many people told him that it is a "revolutionary" manifesto.
Two days after Congress released its manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls, party leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (April 7) urged people to share their feedback about the document through social media.
The Congress on Friday released its manifesto, focusing on five "pillars of justice" and 25 guarantees under those.
Rahul posted a video on Instagram in which he made the appeal. "I made this video last night at 12:30am, but my team thought it was too late to post. So I'm posting it now because the message is still relevant," Rahul said in the post accompanying the video which was released around 10 am.
"The Congress manifesto is the voice of every Indian, share your thoughts on social media," he said.
"The #CongressManifesto is the voice of every Indian, share your thoughts on social media or email me at rgconnects@inc.in," he wrote on Instagram.
In the video, Rahul says he made the video after coming back from the rally in Telangana and many people told him that it is a "revolutionary" manifesto.
He thanked people for their suggestions which he said helped shape the manifesto.
Rahul asked them to share feedback with him on the manifesto and tell him what they liked about it and what they did not.
Right to apprenticeship, a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for crops, a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBC), a nationwide caste census and scrapping the Agnipath scheme for short-term military recruitment are among the promises made by the Congress in the manifesto.
