Congress increases the quota limit and ensures a minimum pay

On Saturday, Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, issued five further guarantees for “Shramik Nyay” and “Hissedari Nyay.”

Along with offering urban residents a guarantee of employment and the national minimum pay of Rs 400 (which also applies to MGNREGA workers), “Shramik Nyay” also makes other promises. On the other hand, the “Hissedari Nyay” seeks to modify the Constitution to eliminate the 50% ceiling on the reservation for SCs, STs, and OBCs and increase the quota to 65%, similar to what is done in Tamil Nadu.

Additionally, Congress pledges to safeguard adivasi homes in forests, providing MSP for their goods. “Big business houses and the dear friends of the Modi government are holding the jal, jungle, and zameen of adivasis hostage,” Kharge said.

Kharge said it was a “good thing” if Prime Minister Narendra Modi was adopting the traditional approach of the Congress that was first introduced by former PM Indira Gandhi in the 1970s, in response to questions about the promises made by the latter before to the Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress administrations in Telangana and Karnataka have been carrying out the promises with promptitude. If Modi is picking up tips from us, then that’s a wonderful thing,” he said. In addition to stressing the shortcomings of the NDA administration during the previous ten years—such as inflation, unemployment, abuse of independent agencies, and the subversion of democratic principles and constitutional values—he said that the Congress had set a “nyay” agenda for the impending elections. “I implore the people to carefully read and comprehend the promises made by Congress and to stand with us,” he said.

As per well-informed sources, Kharge intended to introduce the most recent assurances on Sunday in Mumbai, the destination of party leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi’s 63-day ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’. Nevertheless, Kharge was compelled to publish the vote dates in Bengaluru on Saturday before the Election Commission of India did. Kharge accused PM Modi of lying since he has not been able to provide 2 crore jobs a year or double farmer income as promised by the BJP. He also added that 75% of PM Modi’s pledges have been made of falsehoods. What is happening to the bullet train that runs from Ahmedabad to Mumbai? Despite not contributing to Kalaburagi’s growth, he visited the area (on Saturday), Kharge mocked.

Additionally, he mocked the MP for not supporting AIIMS in Kalaburagi. “Modi said falsely that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has not allotted the necessary land. He said, “Even BS Yediyurappa is aware of it.

“Caste Census is Required”

Kharge said that if Congress is elected to power, they would carry out the nation’s caste census. Regarding those in the Congress who are against the socio-economic survey report (caste census) that Karnataka’s chief minister, Siddaramaiah, received, Kharge said that everyone must follow the party’s decision in the event that the State Government decides to accept the report.
