Congress released its election manifesto on Friday and its former president Rahul Gandhi today said that the party’s election manifesto was aspirational, representing the voice and aspirations of the people from across the country and was the roadmap for progress and development.

He expressed confidence that the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) will emerge victorious, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s claims of winning “400 plus” seats were the sign of his nervousness as he realized it well that his alliance will not even cross 180 mark.

Talking to reporters after the release of the party’s manifesto in Delhi yesterday, he said it is the voice of the country. “It is a document of India’s aspirations, which has been conceived and created by the people and drafted and put into words by the Congress”, he said, while disclosing that it had lot of inputs based on his conversations with people across the country.
He said, the manifesto has been prepared after closely understanding the needs of the people from across the country through direct interaction, by him and the Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, with them during two historical yatras covering over 10,000 kms.

Gandhi said, whatever promises the Congress has made before the elections in various states, these have been fulfilled by the respective state governments.

He expressed confidence that the people have full faith in the Congress and its commitments, while asserting that these are not mere promises but pledges for justice and the roadmap for the future and prosperous India.

The Congress leader reiterated that this election was to save democracy and the Constitution. He said, while on the one hand Narendra Modi and his party were attacking democracy and the constitution, on the other hand, ‘INDIA’ was defending and protecting it.
