AN APPEAL

The Congress approaches the people of India with the utmost humility, conscious of its accomplishments and the many challenges that lie ahead.

A vote for the Congress is a vote for preserving India’s
many unities and celebrating its many diversities.

A vote for the Congress is a vote for the steady hand of experience
and expertise, a vote for compassion in economic policy, for conviction
in social policy, for consistency in foreign policy and for clarity in
governance and administration.

A vote for the Congress is a vote for a vision of India that
has an equal and dignified place for each and every one of its citizens,
in which there is equality of opportunity for all to fulfill their aspirations.

The Congress is asking the people of India to vote for it on
the strength of the Congress’s contributions, its commitments,
its concerns and its charter.

The Congress has received the support and trust of
the people of India for decades. It has always tried to fulfill
that trust in substantial measure.

For economic growth with social harmony, vote Congress.

For economic growth that benefits all sections of our society,
and fulfills the aspirations of all Indians, vote Congress.

For economic growth that brings prosperity first and foremost
to rural India, vote Congress.

For clarity, conviction, compassion
and consistency in governance and administration, vote Congress.

Vote Congress
