Conclusion by aAditri Digital

In the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections in 2024, the Congress party is actively strategizing to counter the BJP’s influence. The party, under the guidance of leaders like Govind Singh Kunjwal and Mallikarjun Kharge, is mobilizing its workers, emphasizing the importance of booth-level preparations and exposing what they deem as the hollow claims of the BJP, particularly in areas like women empowerment.

The commitment of Congress to addressing people’s issues is reiterated, with a focus on bringing problems to the forefront and countering the BJP’s policies. The upcoming visit of Kharge to Dehradun symbolizes a significant moment for the party, allowing booth-level workers to interact directly with the national president.

Furthermore, the announcement of the manifesto preparation showcases a proactive approach. The party, through the Congress Voice India website, is engaging with the public to gather suggestions for the manifesto, highlighting its commitment to inclusivity and responsiveness. The emphasis on issues like unemployment, price rise, income support, women’s rights, and the old pension scheme reflects the party’s priorities.

In a bid to project a united front against the BJP, the Congress is also collaborating with opposition alliances, demonstrating a strategic alliance to consolidate key issues. With a clear timeline for the release of the manifesto and a commitment to address local concerns, the Congress appears poised for a focused and inclusive campaign leading up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
