Cong manifesto for Raj makes promises to farmers, women

THE PARTY ALSO PROMISED TO CONDUCT THE CASTE SURVEY IN THE STATE THAT CM ASHOK GEHLOT HAD ANNOUNCED

- 

The Congress on Tuesday released its manifesto for the upcoming assembly polls in Rajasthan, promising a law guaranteeing the minimum support price (MSP) for farmers, an expansion of reservation for marginalised castes in line with the findings of a caste survey, and security guards in every village and ward to ensure women’s safety

The manifesto pledged that if the Congress comes back to power, it will create one million employment opportunities, including 400,000 government jobs, and build a new scheme to recruit people at the panchayat level to ease employment access.

The party also promised to conduct the caste survey that was announced by chief minister Ashok Gehlot and notified by the state social justice and empowerment department on October 8, and an expansion of the upper limit of free medical treatment limit under the Chiranjeevi Health Insurance Scheme from ₹25 lakh to ₹50 lakh.

“Our government has delivered 96% of the promises made in the 2018 manifesto. Our 2023 manifesto is also a road map towards Mission 2030 and making Rajasthan one of the top states, for which social security has been our priority in both the manifesto and the seven guarantees,” Gehlot said after launching the document.
