World News: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that there is a battle of ideologies in the country with the INDIA bloc standing for love, unity and protecting the Constitution and the BJP-RSS seeking to divide people. Addressing a public gathering here today, Rahul Gandhi urged people to bring back JMM-led alliance to power. He said Congress and its allies will continue to work for protecting the Constitution.

"There is a battle of ideologies in the country. On one side is the INDIA bloc, and on the other is the BJP and RSS. On one side, there is love, unity, and brotherhood, on the other side, hatred, violence, anger, and arrogance. The INDIA Bloc stands for protecting the Constitution, while the BJP-RSS wants to destroy it," he said.

Listing the promises by the alliance, Gandhi, who is Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, said that the INDIA bloc government will transfer Rs 2,500 to every woman's bank account every month. "The INDIA Bloc in Jharkhand has decided that the money currently given to billionaires by the BJP will instead be deposited into your bank accounts. Inflation affects women the most, they are the backbone of this nation. That's why we have created the biggest scheme in Jharkhand for women. Right after winning the election, the INDIA Bloc will transfer Rs 2,500 to every woman's account each month. You will receive this money in your bank account on the first of every month," he said.

"Every person will receive seven kg of ration each month, and gas cylinders will be priced at Rs 450. This is our first guarantee. In Jharkhand, if anyone falls ill, we will introduce a new health insurance scheme. Any operation you need will be covered, with the Jharkhand government providing up to Rs 15 lakh for treatment right after taking office. This is our second promise. Farmers will receive Rs 3,200 per quintal for paddy," he added.

Rahul Gandhi said that if people have money to spend, it helps the economic cycle. "If you have money, you'll buy something, which will start factories and provide employment for your children. This is our idea. Narendra Modi has made the youth unemployed, but we will establish a degree college in every block for your education and a professional college in every district. A 500-acre industrial park will open in every district for youth employment. We are going to provide jobs to 10 lakh youth in Jharkhand in both the private and public sectors," the Congress leader said.

He said the Congress will take steps to remove 50 per cent cap on reservations if it comes to power at the Centre. "I have made it clear in Parliament that the Congress party and INDIA Bloc will remove this 50 percent barrier. In Jharkhand, the Dalit reservation will increase from 10 percent to 12 percent, the tribal reservation from 26 percent to 28 percent, and the backward class reservation from 24 percent to 27 percent," he said. The Congress leader also reiterated his demand for caste census.The 81-member Jharkhand Assembly will go to polls in two phases on November 13 and 20. Votes will be counted on November 23.
