Congress committed to Guaranteed Minimum Income for poor; State Congress supports the move

Port Blair, Jan 30: The Congress President, Mr. Rahul Gandhi on 29th Jan 2019, has announced a guaranteed minimum income for the poor across the country, much like the system of social security in other country like the US. In a press conference held at Gandhi Bhawan here on Jan 29 evening, the Chief Spokesperson, PCC, Mr. K Ganeshan said that the Congress party has decided to implement the historic decision if voted to power in 2019. Mr. Gandhi has said that the Congress-led government is going to give minimum income guarantee. This means, each poor person in India will have minimum income. This means there will be no hungry, poor people in India. The idea of a universal basic income for the poor will be implemented because we cannot build a new India while millions of our brothers & sisters suffer the scourge of poverty. If voted to power in 2019, the Congress is committed to a Minimum Income Guarantee for every poor person, to help eradicate poverty & hunger. This is the vision & promise of the Congress chief.

Mr. Ganeshan & Mr. Tamil Selvam also remained the false promise made by the BJP during the 2014 Lok Sabha election wherein the Mr. Modi said if voted to power, the BJP Govt. will provide 2 crore jobs annually. However, as per available date only 1.5 lakhs jobs has been provided in the last four years. He also referred to the growing unemployment in the islands. Since the UT administration is unable to provide jobs to the education, the situation in the islands is growing tense and more and more educated unemployed youth are rendered jobless.

The party has done good show in Gujarat and the recent victory in the assembly elections in the heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The first thing, the Congress party has done in the States in which it has done very good, signoff on loan waivers. With Smt Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entering into active politics from eastern Uttar Pradesh, the Congress workers are now jubilant and will go in the 2019 election with the objective to win.
