If the Congress is voted to power, it pledges to conduct a comprehensive caste census across the country to identify the diverse castes and sub-castes, along with their respective socio-economic statuses.
This data will serve as a foundation for developing targeted agendas to address the needs of marginalized communities and ensure inclusive growth.
The manifesto was released in New Delhi by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, alongside senior leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and P Chidambaram.
The party aims to strengthen its electoral prospects by addressing pressing issues such as unemployment and social inequality.
The Lok Sabha elections are scheduled to be held in seven phases, commencing on April 19, with results expected to be announced on June 4.
The release of the manifesto underscores the Congress party’s commitment to addressing key socio-economic challenges facing the nation and its diverse population.
Recently, the Income Tax Department has issued a notice amounting to Rs 1,700 crore to the Congress party, including penalties and interest, for the assessment years spanning from 2017-18 to 2020-21. This notice follows the Delhi High Court’s rejection of the Congress party’s appeals against tax reassessment proceedings initiated by the Income Tax department.
Confirmation of this development was provided by Congress leader Vivek Tankha. This significant tax notice underscores the ongoing legal and financial challenges faced by the Congress party, as it navigates through various legal proceedings and financial matters.
