Congress manifesto highlights: Priority to jobs, farmers and Rahul's NYAY

Gandhi said the manifesto had five key ideas, akin to the five fingers in the Congress election symbol of 'hand'

As Rahul Gandhi and other leaders launched their party’s manifesto for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls here on Tuesday afternoon, the Congress president appealed to the people to vote on 'real' issues of joblessness, farm distress and women security rather than divisive ones that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is busy stoking.

The Congress manifesto has identified kaam, or employment and growth and daam, or an economy that works for all, as key promises on which it would deliver if it were to form the government at the Centre. The party’s slogan for the polls is “Congress will deliver”, or “hum nibhayenge”.
