New Delhi: The Congress party launched its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections at the party headquarters on Friday, making a slew of promises for diverse sections of society including women, farmers, youths and the elderly.

The caste Census remains one of the biggest highlights of the party’s manifesto, reinforcing one of its major poll planks ‘jitni abaadi utna haq’, for which Rahul Gandhi has been galvanising public support.

Other key features of the manifesto include restoration of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood and MSP guarantee on crops. The party also promises to scrap the GST law and abolish Agnipath scheme brought in by the Modi government, if voted to power.

Describing its manifesto as ‘Nyay Patra’, the party has also promised “to review and undo anti-people laws” and “help media re-discover its freedom.”

Key highlights of the Congress party’s manifesto are as follows:
