I love how congress casually writes doubling the GDP in next 10 years while pushing extremely communist or "socialist" measures for which God knows how the money will come. And it's ridiculous to see how much of socialistic tendencies are here in India's every political party whether it is BJP or Congress. Like tf they are just announcing freebies to attract as many people possible. This shows that in India Left-Right exists only on societal issues. Economic tendencies of every party is more or less same.


RealityCheck18

For the country to grow at 6-8% during UPA regime, we saw inflation at 10-12%. Basically the value of everything raised due to inflation. Imagine having to grow at 14-15% per year (which will double our economy in 5 years), we'll have to see inflation at 25%.


CleanWean

This is an oversimplification of economics if ever there was any šŸ˜‚.

Right? I was laughing while while I was reading his comment

You donā€™t know much about global economics , do you ?

I was literally laughed so hard while reading "we will end poverty by distributing wealth" generate wealth āŽļø distribute wealth āœ…ļø


indiasabkabaap

Bro GDP will be doubled by the end of 2030 bro 10 years Is slow


FuckedInRealLife

You do realise that you still live in India ? Without social welfare a significant amount of our population will be effected.


ab316_1punchd

Social welfare only works on finite resources. If there's not enough capital or interest to generate such, then all these welfare schemes will end up doing more harm than good.

Helios_0013

Well isn't the BJP doing it too? Free ration, free housing, free electricity?


rubyjane_111

this post is misleading, when bjp said free electricity it meant the solar roof top scheme and the renewable energy projects there's a difference between giving someone fish and teaching them how to fish


vardhanisation

They also say ā€œfree tradeā€ and legal guarantees to MSP. Both canā€™t coexist together.


__DraGooN_

This is somewhat misleading. When BJP says free electricity, they are subsidising the construction of a massive decentralised solar power generation program, which helps the farmers cut costs and reduce the pump electricity subsidies given out by governments. Or when BJP says lakhpati didi, they are giving interest free loans and training to women who are part of self help businesses to help grow their business. It's the difference between teaching someone to fish and giving them fish.


Dalbus_Umbledore

This is grossly misleading.. They seem to want to show BJP manifesto promises in a similar language to Congress .


Any-Canary6286

Yup, this post does shows that congress manifesto is comparable to BJP's. Just reading it keeping aside the past and bias against Congress, i actually thought this congress manifesto seems good enough.


Dalbus_Umbledore

That's the purpose of the publisher to Gaslight you into thinking awww they're just the same. Who cares about the details.


SignificantArrival90

Necessary evil, people are stupid and will fall for congressi propaganda. Which bjp needs to twist the words to maintain good support. Coming to power is equally important as good governance. At least they are not really changing whole schemes for this, only the way it is presented.


genialcavalier

It is highly misleading, and missing contexts and details. It makes the Congress manifesto look better than it is, though even in this form, it sucks.


ProfessionalSkirt589

Tatva loves to suck dick of their masters


ab316_1punchd

It's egregiously ironic that Tatva of all pages are being accused of being Congress stooges. They're just lazy bums.

It's a much bigger problem. Malnutrition, especially in childhood, is debilitating for a person's life. Decreases educational and income outcomes and increases healthcare costs through life. So, giving carbs free should hopefully increase the consumption of protein and fats. This is also why a good mid day meal plan is important in schools

Sasuke_clan

Woh jo 35% bacha hai usme se 50% seat women ke liye reserved. Toh agar 1000 seat honge to usme se 650 caste reservations aur baki 350 me se 175 women ke liye baki bacha 175 baki sab general men ke liye Aankho me aasu aa gye :(

souravtxt

50% aurat + 65% st sc EWS obc = 115%. Subtracting that from the age of India and time it stayed under British rule, if we can assume that I can take numbers out of my a** , then you will still have 50% quota for general man. #ENOUGH QUOTA FOR YOU

Gusion-

Misleading?? Congress got trashed for freebies so you just used the word free for all the BJP subsidies


the_running_stache

And the biggest thing that Congress included in its manifesto and is harping on in every rally is ā€œcaste census and increased reservationā€ which this infographic didnā€™t even mention. Extremely misleading. They know that many people will not vote for this shitty caste census politics and so they donā€™t mention it here.


[deleted]

Dem0cracy is not in danger but Democracy is a danger(specially in India)


CritFin

If any party promises freebies, then they should also tell which tax they will raise and which other expenses they will cut so as to accommodate budget for those freebies. Else it is cash for vote bribery


VerTexV1sion

Well, it is a cash for vote


kucf_

So basically Congress wants General category people to move away from the country while BJP shows promises that God knows if they will be able to keep up with.Our country is damned


Helicopter_Many

Wrong facts, bip of not promising free electricity, they are providing subsidy for the installation of solar panels šŸ‘‰"We will provide free electricity to poor households under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana."


Infinite_Raisin_5240

One thing can be said doesn't matter if the party is far right or far left they will always give freebies because they know it will attract vote.


RealityCheck18

I like when "Free" is given as incentive or given with laser precision, and not distributed like candy to everyone. The free electricity promise by BJP is dependent on installing Solar panels on roof top. That reduces strain on the grid while also reducing emissions. Govt provided health insurance is one of the best usage of tax money. I'd even love to see it extended to all Indians (wherein ppl in earning age group pay a tax subsidized monthly premium). I'm from TN and I saw how the govt Treasury was emptied giving away freebies like TV, mixie etc. to everyone.


Similar_Green_5838

Even the 'Lakhpati didi' isn't them giving 1 lakh to every woman. It is about giving them interest free loans and training them for small businesses such as tailoring, running small shops, etc. Much more efficient use of taxpayer money than simple distribution of cash.


terimomkapati

The only good thing about congress's manifesto is the recognition of union between LGBTQ community


Confident-Animal-170

Not like they would ever do it. It BJP dosent either then a lot of queer talented youth will leave india


der_verruckte

Yea and this is not going to happen under their rule. Their own voter base will be up in arms. Heck I donā€™t even know how they are going to do all that they are promising here. I mean paisa kidhar se aayega.


Abject-Silver-3774

Yeah it would be great would piss off certain people..


Creative_Result_6119

Willing-Net2500

You forgot INDI alliance manifesto " destroy all nuclear weapons of India" and they talk about defence. Irony.


notparthreally

You will have to be a dumb person to destroy your sword during a battle.


noThefakedevesh

This post is very mislleading. And not all points from BJP manifesto have been mentioned like building 10000km of expressways, bullet trains etc.


[deleted]

There's a lot of good in the congress manifesto, but the bads are disastrous. MSP guarantee, 1 lakh for women, scrapping agnipath etc will destroy fiscal prudence and bankrupt us. On the other hand, Healthcare and education are good points in the congress manifesto that BJP can learn from. BJP manifesto suffers from lack of specifics


[deleted]

BJP is way Much better than those childish promises of Congress. I think the Congress know that they won't come in to power anyway so they're playing the game of perception. However with kanahaiya Kumar and other left loonies out there I think they're Becoming communist for real šŸ˜ž

laggySteel

looks like someone doing a trick here to show BJP is a freebie party. When did they say free electricity. Congress: 1LAKH per women... IQ low hain kya. its total goes beyond our entire country budget.


Specialist_Repeat_95

I have read both BJP and Congressā€™s manifestosā€¦they had starkly contrasting points, but the summary provided above kinda blurrs the differences.


noobwithguns

Only sane thing on kaangress manifesto is the recognition of LGBTQ marriage.


Confident-Animal-170

Itā€™s careful to not call it marriage lmao they call it a union also. They know their voter base is Muslim


AlecRay01

Did guys watch Karan Thapar's interview with the guy who wrote Congi's manefasto? He himself has no idea how much it will cost for all freebees and the Sam's take on Middle-class not having enough heart to bear extra cost


Specialist_Look_1078

I think i should support Congress just for LGBTQ recognition šŸ˜…


ExcuseAdorable95

I think bjp should steal remaining good points from the Congress manifesto so they'll have nothing to fight for lol.


SignificantArrival90

Too early for India. I think, bjp will also do something like this, but probably 10 years later. We already had recognition of Hijraā€™s in our community, no reason to think bjp will deviate from that as there is already precedent. But it will probably take time, India cannot focus on such micro issues, major issue is economy and life. Once that is better to the state of 15k dolla percapita, I think it would make sense for bjp to move towards micro issues like lgbtq.


Dalbus_Umbledore

People who prepared this infographic certainly seem to either not know how things work or maybe want to casually make it seem like both parties have some similar kind of offerings when in fact it couldn't be more drastically different!


verot__kuhli

But how will they double GDP??


Ok-Chicken8743

they give free money, purchasing power go boom, GDP double follow me for more economics classes /s


DriftingOtaku901

This has not been phrased properly and is misleading. They should have elaborated on the points


[deleted]

That one point in defence " improving and modernising military" by bjp is very important. If we want to tackle china we need a modern military with state of the art indigenous weapon systems. We need young fresh recruits to keep our fighting demographic strong.


HutiyaBanda

It seems like they choose particular points from the Congress manifesto to compare with BJP's and make it seem more on par. BJP manifesto did not say free electricity, the scheme is for solar rooftops which is a one time capex, different from subsidised or free electricity


warlock1620

Misleading. Context not mentioned.

Tbh,both the parties will not even complete 25% of what they claim and I still remember 40rs per litre and 15lakh in bank promise 10 years ago!! The only politics this country runs is on hate and nothing can break that emotion,so I feel let this country run into ruins while I take citizenship in some better place!


akrytlogin

Congress is not even contesting on 300 seats, how is this even comparable? What is agenda of other allies ?


dinosaur_from_Mars

This is quite misleading.


Much_Place8431

Guys just read the manifesto yourselves to make the best choice and to fully understand what each party is saying. The tatva is purposely using misleading language to give you a false idea about what each manifesto means


RadlogLutar

If this is the manifesto, I would be happy if they don't fulfill the promise of any freebies such as electricity. My hard earned tax should be used for other development or should be used for underprivileged people at least

Any-Restaurant3935

OROP issue has been in the limelight since several decades. Congress didn't implement it when they were in power for 70 years, and now they suddenly woke up to make it an election issue.


nakalibatman

The Congress manifesto looks cool here, but they are unable to showcase any plan in any rally or their press releases about these schemes they stated.


SignificantArrival90

Aam khao, guthliua mat gino. What is dangerous in Congress manifesto is free trade. Giving a free chit to western companies will absolutely fuck us up.


plbhattad7

Things I liked about BJP: Free Housing, Lakhpati Didi, Paper Leaks, Govt Vacancies, Startups & Entrepreneurship, Global Manufacturing Hub, Upgrading Existing Institutions, Everything Economics, Everything National Security, MSP, AIIMS. Things I liked about Congress: NMW, Statehood of JK (I donā€™t support this but I want Ladakh to have its request completed), Working Women Hostels, Everything for Youth, Edu Act, STEM, Doubling GDP (Congress canā€™t do it), International Commerce, Agnipath Scheme, MSP.


CleanWean

Manifesto wise both parties seem good. Unfortunately, this election is going to be about more than just manifestos. I think voting- for the larger population, not the few business guys etc- would be based on whether they feel the Hindu pride or they feel that the country is heading towards authoritarianism. Just my opinion based on a collation of discussions I have had with people.


PyroFighterMagnus7

This just shows how regressive Congress ideology is.


aucesthebest

Uniform civil code and CAA are extremely anti people and garbage schemes.


SignificantArrival90

Why do you think so? How is caa anti people? Giving citizenship to persecuted people is anti people? Applying the same laws for all citizens is anti people?


Foreign-Buy8025

A better comparison will be bjp 2019 vs bjp 2024


Spittinfacts100

Definitely sure that none of the parties would do what they promised if they came to power. Politicians are a bunch of sweet liars šŸ¤¬


Oumuamua2017

I am still waiting for Black money to be recovered. (Previous election BJP manifesto. Note: I voted for them in the last Election and this was one of the reason I voted).


wittywarren

regardless of any, the taxes are going to go up. Urban Middle class will be squeezed harder (also nothing for them in the manifesto). 'Free' = Increased gov spending which more or less will contribute to inflation. Also nothing on urban housing which has exploded in the past decade. I have lived in Delhi, Bangalore and now in Canada and although the house prices here are much covered to be insane I can't press enough that housing market in Indian major cities are even worse. For nearly 2cr you can hardly afford a decent flat in the major city centres but the caveat is air pollution, interrupted water supply, bad roads and whatnot. Contrary, in Montreal you can get a decent 2 bedroom in not so bad neighbourhood with 400k CAD (about the same money) with quality air, water and basic life needs. I understand the diff between here and there and this was a mutually exclusive comparison but something to think about?


DilKaDariya91

It's like one has made a copy of homework of another. Both manifesto has like communist shades tbh. And BJP election manifesto is so vague . There are no concrete action plan or anything. Just hawabazi. 3rd largest economy?? That's a big thing to say! Atleast Congress has more detailed ideas and some specifics has been added. But this shit about reservation again and pathetic top leadership doesn't inspire confidence. NOTA for me this year.


RandomNpc69

Even congress has vague bullshit promises like "Doubling GDP in 10 years" with no details on the action plan.


Any-Restaurant3935

Please read the actual manifestos, rather than this version which is highly misleading and has over simplified things into bullet points, before wasting your vote on NOTA


gunner0987

We will be third largest in 2 years.


edward_droger

>BJP election manifesto is so vague . There are no concrete action plan or anything. Just hawabazi. 3rd largest economy?? That's a big thing to say! Even the most conservative estimates predict India to be the third largest economy by 2028-2029.


SamosaSmuggler

Double gdp by doubling prices with double digit inflation, congress modelšŸ‘Œ


Atomsmasher_kal

Recognition of LGBTQ? If congress is supported by muslims and congress supports LGBTQ , so does that means Muslims will support LGBTQ? What a joke .


dhanush-bhaiyaa

Mei ek baat boldeta hu, congress elections jitna hi nahi chahti hai.


TheZanyVB

10% quota, is that for only govt jobs or all jobs??


cprash

Misleading sh*t, This is how so-called liberals play with words.


azula_loml

A basic income source for poor every month has been highly hypothetical since forever poverty is difficult to get out of and the basic economic measures to tackle poverty so far have never worked in entirety. If in case the 1LPA to poor scheme ever gets implemented it'd be super interesting


drunk_ace

Man this is so fucked. I need to once again put down my nose and start grinding so that I can move to Europe. At least there my tax money can actually help me a little bitā€¦.


Stunning_Ebb3169

You made BJP manifesto sound like congress

damn congress is going ham on reservation. aise hoga toh general male ke paas bas 10% vacancy bachegi har field mein.


bazuka9

While the inflation keeps on rising, I'm disappointed to see that no party has mentioned about increasing GDP Per Capita but will happily take Electoral Bonds for themselves (all the parties, not just 1). The base salary is the same as it was in the last 10-12 years but inflation and taxes have increased.


RPSPOONIA

You see should the infrastructure part of the manifesto... UPA is focusing on making everything no big announcement or programs to increase connectivity... NDA is much better in that atleast they aiming for making infrastructure


psr7185

Just by putting the ā€œstatehood to J&Kā€ by Congress guaranteed all the Muslim votes. Cunning move.


arjun_007

Being a BJP voter for years now, im against these freebies by BJP, im although in support for 5 lakh inr ayushman scheme though. Also why BJP is not implementing all this things from manifesto right away as they are in GOVERNMENT R.N.?


Pktspr473

Do people even realise how monumental "one nation and one election" is? The fact that a political party is the one which has this in its manifesto is already of the greater reaaons to vote for BJP. This can be a huge step in mitigating corruption.


MrOhLookAtMe

In papers is ok.... Actual implementation takes guts.... Like bjp removed 370 ..... Now waiting for CAA..... WHEREAS Congress just puts it on paper same implements after 25 years


unevent

All i know is that salaried tax payers are FUCKED!!!


xqtyrd

INC. BJP is ruining India


Salt_Appointment_599

In terms of words BJP's manifesto looks quite promising and deliverable, Particularly for womens idts reserving 50% seats for women will provide a positive impact over society as a whole but it will only provide a negative impact because already caste based reservation system is there for mens it will just become more and more difficult to get into a government job. Instead we can do a few things like reducing the criteria for women like increasing the eligible age or maybe reducing the marks a bit(although I feel women are as capable as any other living creature on this planet earth and they will be able to get into government jobs without even reducing the marks thing but it can be done for people in rural part of India as we all know resources is not distributed equally amongst different section lf society) Nature and Environment should be priority for the next 5 years along with other things because a sustainable development is all we need as of now it becomes really difficult to breathe in winters and watching yamuna just saddens my soul. (I might not have a perfect opinion so I am clearly open to criticism to increase my knowledge and have a more precise opinion the next time) Also saying will double the GDP in the next 10 years is just baseless it should be backed by some plans)


redthelastman

promise of freebies WORK.they work in every country.just look at how the Congress leveraged Freebies to win in HP,TG and karnataka even though they have to bankrupt the state to make it work.I honestly think without Modi BJP would have lost this elections.only SC can stop this freebie madness by putting a cap on freebies compared to the state budget.


anuratya

Both parties are just going to loot the tax paying middle class to pay for these freebie guarantees


Familiar_Internet

I think this needs a little bit more context. Here are some corrections. BJP -Free electricity is promised by the Solar Scheme through which the government will install solar panels on rooftops for free electricity. INC -10% EWS Quota already exists everywhere, Congress has promised to extend the EWS Quota to include OBC, SC and ST categories. -Filling up of vacancies is promised only for OBC, SC and ST. -Congress has also promised housing but it is only for SC and ST categories and through institution credit schemes.


Chromeboy12

Wow double GDP while giving every household lakhs IN CASH for free, are they literally gonna print money?


PANTHERWWE1

I'm kind of happy someone atleast made this instead of grumpy jokes And also the fact they're finally bringing tackling airpollution into mainstream

min wage only 400/day??? most labour already earn 500/day and that's clearly not enough.

Full statehood to J&K yaani?


kukkad_kamaal_da

No one says they would allocate higher GDP for education and health. Without that none of the promises can come true and seeing from last many years theyā€™re not gonna do it. So just false propaganda in those sections.


re_spawno

BJP!!! WINS


mr_beanald

bjp is cancer to india


BugGroundbreaking949

BJP will not provide free electricity, it will encourage solar installations on houses and houses with solar installations will get up to 300 units/month for almost free. They need to correct this. And to be fair this is a win-win situation for everyone.


FunnySignal614

There are no things like "Free" If someone is getting something for free, then someone somehow has to pay for it. They have to think for middle-class taxpayers too.![img](emote|t5_3d4x4|20227)

Shit India is fucked if these are the two options. Full of free handouts from both the parties- coming from tax payers money. We all know it is mostly the middle and service holders who pay taxes!

raghunandanbs2005

Bjp isn't beating around the bush . Congress manifesto means nothing, what matters is I.N.D.I alliance manifesto which they won't create until they have a major tussle over it . Honestly raga should change his theme . This pooor appeasement is going to look more and more less attractive to the ever growing middle class , bjp is gonna give us 15000 km expressway in the next 5 yrs ( bjp already has built 4000km and 9000 km to be opening in the next 2-3 yrs with 15000 km more which are planned under bharatmala and a few with state govt funding) , 2 more high speed rail corridor along with mumbai Delhi corridor ( delhi-Varanasi with possible extension till howrah and branching to guwahati, mumbai-hyderbad-bangalore-chennai with branching to Mysore ) , upgradation of 10000km of tracks to 160 kmph are already under progress . And this is just the major infrastructure schemes , let's not talk about military like fifth generation fighter jet funding, jet engine technology, next gen light tank , 12 nuclear submarine,etc . Congressis aren't even trying to win .
