The Congress party in Karnataka has released its manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in 2023. The manifesto promises to repeal anti-people laws passed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the state and to bring in measures that will benefit the people of Karnataka.
The manifesto was released by the Congress President of Karnataka, D.K. Shivakumar, on Sunday, May 1, 2023. Speaking at the event, Shivakumar said that the BJP government in Karnataka had failed to deliver on its promises and had only worked to benefit the rich and powerful. He also accused the BJP government of passing anti-people laws and policies that had harmed the people of the state.
The Congress manifesto promises to repeal laws such as the Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMC) Act, which was passed by the BJP government in 2020. The APMC Act allows private players to purchase agricultural produce directly from farmers, bypassing the traditional mandis or markets. The Congress party has promised to repeal the APMC Act and restore the traditional mandi system, which it claims is more beneficial to the farmers.
The manifesto also promises to bring in measures that will benefit women, minorities, and other marginalized sections of the society. The Congress has promised to provide free education and healthcare for women and to implement policies that will ensure their safety and security. The manifesto also promises to protect the rights of minorities and to take steps to ensure their welfare.
In addition to this, the Congress party has promised to create jobs and to bring in measures that will benefit the youth of Karnataka. The party has promised to create one million jobs in the next five years and to provide skill development training to the youth.
The release of the manifesto by the Congress party comes at a time when the BJP government in Karnataka is facing criticism from various quarters for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Congress party is hoping to capitalize on the discontent among the people of the state and to win the upcoming Assembly elections in 2023.
In conclusion, the Congress party in Karnataka has released its manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in 2023. The manifesto promises to repeal anti-people laws passed by the BJP government in the state and to bring in measures that will benefit the people of Karnataka. The release of the manifesto comes at a time when the BJP government is facing criticism for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
