The International Spectator - India Congress manifesto pledges millions of jobs

India’s embattled ruling Congress party promised Wednesday to create millions of jobs and revive a sliding economy as it unveiled a populist manifesto aimed at averting electoral defeat.

Reaching out to Congress’s traditional constituency of poor voters, party leader Rahul Gandhi pledged “growth for all” as he released the manifesto at a rally for the general elections which kick off April 7.

Gandhi declared $1 trillion would be spent to improve India’s decrepit infrastructure, roads and railways if his party was returned to power for a third term.

“We are going to construct a manufacturing backbone that will give millions of people jobs,” and “ensure everybody has access to quality health care,” Gandhi, scion of the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty which has given India three prime ministers.

Opinion polls suggest Congress, which has dominated Indian politics since independence from Britain in 1947, could lose more than half of its seats in the lower house of parliament when results are announced May 16.

The right-of-centre Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is widely expected to come to power with the help of small regional parties.

Same like 2009 .And instead of jobs they gave us a huge number of scams .We will never trust them .Not anymore.
 
They say 5-6 crore jobs will be provided in 5 years while National sample Survey said that since 2004-2012 (8 years) only 1.2 crore jobs were provided.
 
Mr. Gandhi why can't we have Congress/Kangress President's post reserved for ST, Congress/Kangress Vice President's post reserved for SC, Congress/Kangress General secretary(ies) post reserved for OBC, Congress/Kangress spokesperson's post reserved for minorities before pushing for quotas in private sector? :whistle:
