The Congress, in its 55-page manifesto, which was released on Tuesday afternoon, not only promised to solve the issues of joblessness and farm distress but also attempted to reach out to the business community.
Releasing the manifesto, Congress President Rahul Gandhi took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for raising the issues related to nationalism and Hindu identity. He said "all are Hindus", but the real issues are farm distress and joblessness.
The election document also unveiled the party’s slogan for the polls: “Congress will deliver”, or “hum nibhayenge”.
