The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a scathing attack on the Congress manifesto unveiled for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Accusing the Congress of peddling falsehoods, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi tore into the document, questioning the sincerity of its promises.
Trivedi specifically targeted the use of images from New York and Thailand in the manifesto, suggesting a lack of seriousness on the part of the Congress leadership. He emphasized the need for transparency and authenticity in political pledges, calling into question the credibility of the opposition party.
Moreover, Trivedi refuted claims made by Congress President Kharge regarding India’s industrial history. By citing historical evidence, he sought to debunk assertions made by the Congress leadership, pointing out inconsistencies in their narrative.
Highlighting the BJP’s stance on governance and accountability, Trivedi underscored the importance of delivering on promises made to the electorate. He reiterated the BJP’s commitment to fulfilling its electoral mandates, contrasting it with what he perceived as the Congress’s history of unfulfilled promises.
In response to the manifesto, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also weighed in, expressing skepticism about its authenticity. Sarma questioned whether foreign entities were involved in drafting the document, raising concerns about potential external influences on Congress’s policy agenda.
Sarma further criticized the lack of clarity and coherence in the Congress’s promises, particularly highlighting the use of foreign images as illustrative material. He underscored the importance of aligning policy proposals with the interests and aspirations of the Indian electorate, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in political discourse.
As the political landscape heats up in the run-up to the 2024 elections, the exchange between the BJP and the Congress over the manifesto reflects the intensity of the electoral contest and the stakes involved for both parties.
