🚨BRAINWASH ALERT🚨

BJP has nothing left to offer to people so they are trying hard to scare us Indians by spreading multiple fake news -

❌Congress will implement Sharia Law - CM Adiyanath
❌ Congress will redistribute your wealth to minorities - PM Modi
❌ Congress will bring inheritance tax - HM Amit Shah

*All these claims are 100% fake.*

BJP’s top leadership is not just trying to confuse or distract you anymore—they are straight-up LYING to you. Congress manifesto mentions none of this. Lets have a look at what Congress Manifesto actually promises us-

✅Congress will provide jobs by filling up 30 lakh vacancies in govt posts. (Page 30 of Manifesto)
✅Congress will not increase any tax on middle class throughout its term (Page 31 of Manifesto)
✅Congress will support small businesses so all the nation’s resources don’t get sold to billionaires like Adani (Page 28 of Manifesto)

You can read the manifesto yourself and check it. It is in fact Modi’s policies like Electoral Bonds which have stolen the wealth from people of India and given it to billionaires. That’s why you will not find any similar promise in BJP’s manifesto.

Do not get BRAINWASHED

Data on female representation in the Indian Administrative Services paints a stark picture:
- On avg, 30% of entering officers are women, but only 19% become DMs
- HR, CT, BR fare worst
- Only 15-20% of DMs in J&K, LWE-affected are women
- Only 14% of GoI secretaries are women

In a significant win for the movement, opposition parties resolve that all CMs, who have announced that they will not implement NRC,
must consider to suspend NPR enumeration.

Significant, as a clandestine NPR along with Census would have meant NRC by default.
