The manifestos of all major political parties have come out. It is difficult to say that voters will decide about their vote just by looking at these election manifestos, but the promises made to them cannot be ignored. While the BJP is promoting its ten years of work and policies as Modi's election promises, the Congress has assured that if voted to power, it will scrap the Agniveer scheme and make changes in the GST law.

He has also promised to continue the personal laws of various communities. One of the major promises of Congress is to enact a law guaranteeing MSP. He has also promised loan waiver. He has also promised to conduct a caste-based census and increase the reservation limit to more than 50 percent. There are also such promises in his manifesto which are being called Riodi. Congress has talked about filling 30 lakh government posts while emphasizing on poverty alleviation as well as government jobs, but it is silent on the old pension scheme and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Apart from Congress, its allies have also emphasized on populist promises in their manifesto while opposing the policies of BJP. It is clear from such promises of DMK, SP, RJD and Left parties standing with Congress that they do not care about the financial condition of the states. They are not ready to see that the financial condition of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Punjab etc., which were considered prosperous, is deteriorating.

The election promises of these parties bear the imprint of that leftist thinking which is no longer acceptable to a large section of the society. Congress and its allies are making promises of poverty alleviation, employment generation and government financial assistance, but no concrete plan to bring economic prosperity in the country is visible in their announcements. There is also a contradiction in the manifestos of the Congress and its allies, as the CPI(M) talks about eliminating nuclear weapons.

While promising to abolish laws like PMLA, he has also announced to increase taxes on the rich. Aam Aadmi Party claims that the work we are doing in Delhi and Punjab on the concept of Ram Raj will be spread across the country. On issues where Congress and its allies feel cornered or targeted by the BJP, they are cornering the Modi government on issues like corruption. Opposition parties are demanding reduction in the powers of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). This is when only three percent of those facing ED action are leaders. Do opposition parties not want action against corrupt leaders? Will they tie the hands of the investigating agencies? Can they ignore the fact that in the last ten years the ED has taken much more comprehensive action against corrupt elements than under the UPA regime?

Opposition parties are cornering the Modi government on electoral bonds and Congress has even said that it will investigate the scheme but it does not have an answer to the question why so many companies donated to opposition parties including it. BJP surrounded? The way opposition parties are opposing CAA and UCC, it is clear that they are unable to give up their policy of appeasing minority communities and especially Muslims, while CAA has nothing to do with any Indian citizen. There is also a temptation for minority communities that UCC will reduce their rights. It is clear from the election manifestos of Congress and many of its allies that employment means government job and the job of the government is to run the industry. No one has clarified how they will provide such number of jobs? Perhaps they wish to remain ignorant of the fact that whenever governments have attempted to run industries, their quality and service have declined and such industries have become loss-making.

The Congress and its allies have not only rejected the economic and social achievements of the Modi government, they have also refused to see how the country's stature has grown in the last ten years and how much India's international image has improved. Has happened. Is it normal that the country became the fifth largest economy in ten years and is now about to reach the third position? Opposition parties are also ignoring the rise of nationalism and people's attachment towards Indian culture due to which people are now hopeful of achieving the goal of a developed India. The opposition parties are not understanding the success of the public welfare policies of the Modi government and the importance of proper construction of infrastructure along with economic progress. Congress and its allies have presented their blueprint for social and economic progress, which many parties have done before and have also come to power. Everyone knows that they could neither achieve the goal of socio-economic justice nor help in taking the country forward.

The election promises of the opposition parties are going to take the country back to the same decade of 1970-80, from where the country had emerged with great difficulty and the Modi government has given it a new direction and momentum with its policies and plans. With the help of these policies and programs, India is moving towards self-reliance. On the contrary, the promises of opposition parties are increasing people's dependence on the government.

In a way, he seems to be trying to reverse the direction of progress of the country. That is why looking at his election promises, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to present any concrete alternative agenda before the people of the country. Scheduled Tribe communities are generally ignored in the manifestos of political parties. They are not being given the rights they deserve. Although there is a necessary law for the tribals living in the forests, it is still not being followed completely. Apart from this, issues related to environment are also rarely touched upon. These must be included in the manifestos of political parties. It is the duty of these parties to take care of all sections of the society.
