Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday released the party’s manifesto for next month’s Assam assembly polls, promising five key guarantees, including cash transfers for women, health insurance and land rights if voted to power.
Addressing a public rally in Naoboicha, Kharge said all women will receive an “unconditional” monthly cash transfer to their bank accounts, apart from ₹50,000 to start their own business ventures if Congress is voted to power.
The party would also provide guaranteed cashless health insurance of ₹25 lakh to each family, adding that such promises have been fulfilled in Rajasthan, Karnataka and Telangana where the party has been in power.
Congress also promises to provide justice to late Zubeen Garg within 100 days of coming to power, grant permanent ‘patta’ to 1 million ‘bhoomiputras’ and ₹1,250 every month to all senior citizens of the state.
