Free electricity, MSP, caste census among key promises in Cong manifesto for Haryana polls
In its manifesto, the Congress has promised to provide 300 units of free electricity and free medical treatment up to Rs 25 lakh to every family in Haryana.
Senior Congress Leader and former Union Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday said that the Congress manifesto has become a talking point across the country and the problem with BJP is that it is jealous.
Talking to media persons here, he said: “We must recognize that there are social divisions in the country. There is social inequality, economic inequality in this country. The most affected people are the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, the poor irrespective of religion, that means poor Hindus, poor Muslims, poor Christians, poor Sikhs. We are saying we will bring justice to every community.”
