    Congress unveils manifesto for Gujarat Assembly Elections
    On December 1 and 5, there will be two separate rounds of voting. The counting of votes will take place on December 8, which coincides with Himachal Pradesh's result date.

    Digital Desk: The Congress party announced its election manifesto for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections on Saturday.

    There are 11 pledges in the platform, including establishing the Old Pension Scheme in the state and waiving farmer loans up to Rs 3 lakh.

    While announcing the manifesto, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot stated that if the party wins the state assembly election, this manifesto would be the first cabinet's official policy paper.

    If our government is formed, Gehlot declared, "This manifesto will become the government's document in the first cabinet."

    He added that rather than the committee that was previously formed for the task, the party had created this manifesto based on the electorate's preferences.

    In response to Rahul Gandhi's suggestion that we invite the public for their input on the manifesto, over six lakh individuals responded, according to Gehlot.

    On December 1 and 5, there will be two separate rounds of voting. The counting of votes will take place on December 8, which coincides with Himachal Pradesh's result date.

    The state has been ruled by the BJP for the past 27 years, making it a BJP stronghold.

    Aiming for the state's ruling party for the recent Morbi bridge catastrophe, Rajasthan CM Gehlot claimed that the state's governance was "nothing."

    "Recognize the seriousness of the Morbi incident. What issue does the government have with appointing a High Court judge who is either a sitting or resigned member of the Commission? People will be cautious in the future if they are penalised. That is government, and we have none of it " he said.

    On October 30, a cable suspension bridge in Morbi town fell, sending people into the Machchhu river and killing at least 135 people and injuring more than 100.
