Hyderabad, November 17: AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday released Congress party's manifesto which includes six guarantees and different declarations for Telangana. After releasing the 42 page manifesto, "Abhaya Hastham", the Congress chief said the mood of the people of Telangana is such that the grand old party has to be brought to power, "come what may". The six guarantees of Congress include the promise of Rs 2,500 per month and gas cylinders at Rs 500 for women, as well as 200 units of free electricity to all households, if the party comes to power in the state after November 30 polls.

Under "Cheyutha", Rs 4,000 social pension will be given to eligible beneficiaries and Rs 10 lakh health insurance cover. "We have given in Karnataka and they are being implemented now. Because of the free travel in bus, women in Karnataka are visiting various temples, whichever faith they belong to. We will implement all the six guarantees given to Telangana," he said.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, the AICC chief said, "Today, I can challenge and say whatever Modi and KCR try together, Congress will certainly come to power." Mocking at Rao, he said the CM says he is ready to retire and people are also ready to see him off.
