IndiaTimes Wednesday, 20 December 2023
Lashing out at Rajya Sabha chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar for linking caste to the incident of mimicry, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge told the vice president that he is always denied the opportunity to speak in the Upper House, and if he should then claim that Dalits are being shut out of Parliament, underlining that “Dalits were always denied the opportunity”. He advised that the chairman should not try to incite people by talking about caste in the House. Kharge was responding to Dhankhar’s claim that he was mimicked because he belongs to the Jat community.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
