NEW DELHI: The Congress on Wednesday released its 2014 Lok Sabha election manifesto. The document focuses on inclusive growth, agriculture, education and health.

Party president Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi were present at the party office to release the manifesto.

Speaking at the party office in New Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said that UPA has delivered 90% of the promises of our 2009 manifesto.

The manifesto has been a result of five months of preparations. "We decided to go to the people for the first time", Rahul Gandhi said.

“We had multiple discussions, not only with leaders but with every section possible. We cannot achieve growth by neglecting the business community or the poor,” Rahul Gandhi said.

"We have delivered more growth than our opponents," Manmohan Singh said on the occasion.

“Today we hear about Gujarat Model, but there is only one model, the Congress model, growth with equality,” Manmohan Singh said.

Growth has many dimensions and I am glad that Congress manifesto spells the vision for growth and job creation in great detail, Manmohan Singh said.

“We were able to lift 14 crore people above poverty line. We provided an agenda for growth,” Manmohan Singh said.

“The Congress runs an Aam admi government. The UPA has ensured development for the poor and the backward classes. The 2014 elections are about good policies and governance,” Congress chief Sonia Gandhi said.

“We have promised “Right to Health” and “Right to homestead” in this manifesto, Sonia Gandhi said.

“We are promising “Right to Pension” for old and underprivileged,” Sonia Gandhi said.

“This election is not about policies alone, it is also about preserving our Constitutional ethos,” Gandhi said.

The Congress, in its manifesto, has spelled strong measures to tackle corruption.

The poll manifesto has reinforced its commitment to welfare measures reflecting the party's thrust on inclusive development.

The party has also highlighted its achievements in bringing in rights-based legislation like RTI, MGNREGA and Food Security.

The manifesto also expected to talk about woman's empowerment, including reservation for them in the legislative bodies.
