Mr. Chakravarty said the Congress manifesto comprises 48 pages, covering 31 topics and 145 specific promises. \u201cThe word Muslim is not there at all in the manifesto and the word minorities occurs 11 times. What is Muslim about the Right to Apprenticeship? What is Muslim about doubling economic output? What is Muslim about giving farmers a legal guarantee for MSP? What is Muslim about saying we will take back our land from China? \u2026 this is the manifesto for India, every single Indian, to restore our original idea of India.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I do not want to steal Mr. Chakravarty\u2019s thunder or run the risk of paraphrasing him or pr\u00e9cising him wrongly. So I think it\u2019s better you should watch this interview for yourself. Often, on specific issues, there\u2019s clear disagreement and, again, I do not want to misrepresent that. It happens over the fact that so many of Congress\u2019s manifesto promises are not costed, it happens during discussions about some of the manifestos agricultural promises, it happens over promises to do with the functioning of Parliament or on CAA as well as the proposed National Judicial Commission, China and the Chief of Defence Staff position. I think all of this should be seen by you rather than convey it through a precis by me.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview to discuss in some detail the 2024 manifesto
