In Congress’s 5 poll guarantees, first job assured for educated youth

Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the Gandhi scion said that Congress’s guarantees are a “promise to provide every Indian with a better future, equal opportunities, and a fair share in India’s growth”.

“Congress Party will empower every youth, woman, farmer, worker and marginalised citizen in India. We will ensure the benefits of the nation’s progress are not cornered by a few, but rather reach every household,”

Below are the first guarantees of Congress announced by Rahul Gandhi:

• Pehli Naukri Pakki (First job assured): Every educated youth will have their first job guaranteed with Rs 1 lakh Salary
• Mahalakshmi: One woman in every poor family will be given Rs 1 lakh every year
• Sahi Daam & Karz Mukti (Right price and loan free): Loan waiver and legal status to MSP, according to the Swaminathan Commission’s formula
• Shram Ka Samman (Honour for labour): Rs 400 per day, National Minimum Wage, including for MGNREGA
• Ginti Karo (census): Every individual and every community to be counted through a nationwide census to ensure social and economic equity

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi along with sister Priyanka Gandhi and other party leaders arrived in Wayanad and submitted his nomination papers to the District Collector who is also the Returning Officer.

Speaking to reporters after filing his nomination, Rahul said that the Lok Sabha poll was a fight for democracy and the Constitution of India.

“On one side are the forces who want to destroy the democracy and the Constitution of this country and on the other side, there is a force that is protecting the Constitution and democratic nature of our country,” he said.

Furthermore, the Wayanad MP also alleged that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and others in the BJP who were attempting to destroy the Constitution and the democracy in the country.

It is the Congress and the INDIA bloc which are trying to stop that from happening, he added.
