Congress manifesto released for LS polls, Rahul calls it voice of people

New Delhi, Apr 2 The Congress on Tuesday released its manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections with its leader Rahul Gandhi describing it as the "voice of people".

Rahul Gandhi was joined by other top party leaders including former prime minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, as the opposition party unveiled its manifesto.

Chidambaram said main problems in the nation are unemployment, farmer distress and women's safety among others and blamed the ruling BJP of trying to take narrative to hyper nationalism.

Singh said the manifesto's purpose is to spell out the vision for the nation to move towards forward-looking and inclusive economy and polity.

The Congress chief said if his party is chosen to power, its government would spend six percent of the GDP on education.

His party will work to join the people, he stated, blaming the Modi government for separating the society and spreading hatred.
