Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, launched his party's poll promises, flanked by his mother Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh and P Chidambaram.
Shredding the Congress manifesto, Union minister Arun Jaitley said it is "dangerous and un-implementable, and an agenda for balkanisation of India". The Congress promises will protect Maoists and jihadists, and allow terrorists and friends to prosecute the forces, he said at a press conference.
The Congress five big promises were poverty alleviation under the NYAY scheme, generation of jobs, a reformed Goods and Services Tax, double budget for education and free healthcare.
The Congress document is the result of extensive nationwide consultations and it will be a very "powerful" document aimed at redressing key challenges facing the nation, Mr Gandhi said.
