Meanwhile, the Congress leader on Monday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poll manifesto does not have anything for the poor but talks about bidding for the 2036 Olympics.
He slammed the ruling dispensation at the Centre, alleging that the BJP was keen on pushing its agenda of “One nation, one election”.
During his interaction with college students at Thaloor before proceeding to Wayanad in Kerala, Gandhi asked, “What are the BJP’s policies for the poor?”
He said that the Congress manifesto has policies for all sections of the people, including the youth and women. Meanwhile, he alleged, the BJP’s “election manifesto talks about holding Olympics in 2036. This is the difference between the Congress and the BJP”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday released the BJP’s Lok Sabha poll manifesto, outlining his vision for ‘Viksit Bharat’ as he exhorted people to give another mandate to his party to shape India’s “destiny” for the next 1,000 years.
Modi highlighted the achievements of 10 years of his government at the Centre and said the BJP has delivered on every promise it made so far as he described the party’s ‘Sankalp Patra’ as a document of his guarantee.
