The grand old party has named its manifesto `Nyay Patra`. The party, in its manifesto, stated that Lok Sabha Elections 2024 presents an opportunity to “radically change style of governance that has been in evidence over past decade”. They appealed to the people to “look beyond religion, language, caste” and urged them to “choose wisely” and elect a “democratic government”.
