In a scathing attack on the Congress manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has termed it as a fabrication. The BJP alleges that under Congress rule, inflation was at its peak. The party further accused Congress of injustice on all fronts and highlighted that under their governance, unemployment rates were at their lowest while development rates soared. BJP National Spokesperson, Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi, criticized the inclusion of an image on water management in the Congress manifesto, revealing it to be a picture of the Buffalo River in New York state. Meanwhile, Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore from Rajasthan targeted Congress, stating that their promises were hollow and accusing them of exploiting Rajasthan during their tenure.
