Engaged with people at Rohini’s Swarn Jayanti Park, discussing Lok Sabha elections and distributing Congress’ justice manifesto

New Delhi, April 10, 2024 :

Dr. Udit Raj , National Chairman, KKC and National Spokesperson Congress
met with people at Rohini’s Swarn Jayanti Park on Wednesday and discussed the Lok Sabha elections with them, distributing Congress’ justice manifesto. During this campaign, he stated that the Congress manifesto not only challenges the ideology of RSS/BJP but also speaks about the needs and rights of SC/ST/OBC/Minorities and the secular public. BJP cannot talk about everyone’s interests, so they are indirectly addressing them. He said that BJP has abandoned the empowerment of these groups and has also taken away the rights given by the former Congress government. He also raised his voice against privatization and the contractor system in government jobs.

During the outreach campaign, while sharing his views with the people, he said that BJP is alarmed by the talk of removing the 50 percent limit on caste census and reservations. BJP’s ideal figure, Savarkar, had talked about adopting Manusmriti instead of the current constitution. On December 12, 1949, the RSS had burnt the effigy of the Constitution and Dr. Ambedkar. RSS chief Golwalkar had said in 1940 that it’s better to remain enslaved by the British than to have Dalits, backward classes, and minorities in power after the British leave. How can those who harbor such hatred tolerate Congress’ inclusive manifesto? BJP leaders keep talking about ending the Constitution, and this conspiracy is also behind the slogans of crossing 400 seats.

He said that BJP’s policies and manifestos associated with RSS are pushing Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, and minorities towards slavery. The participation of the Muslim community in government jobs and education is not even close to equal, yet the false issue of Hindu-Muslim is being raised. BJP is alarmed by the mention of 30 million permanent jobs, while it failed to provide 1 million jobs during its 10-year tenure. The country’s youth are not demanding answers from Prime Minister Modi, hence the Muslim League’s influence is being created.

He said that BJP is not digesting Congress’ five justice manifesto and 25 guarantees. BJP government’s policies benefit big capitalists directly and indirectly, and the economic, social, and political power of the backward class is completely under control.

He shared Congress’ five justice manifesto with the people:

1. Youth Justice – What about Muslim League?
