Jaipur: Days after engaging in minority appeasement politics in Telangana, the Congress party is now targeting the Muslim community in the state of Rajasthan. The grand-old party has released its manifesto for the upcoming elections in Rajasthan, pledging to provide reservations to the Muslim community in proportion to their population after conducting a caste census. This announcement comes just four days before the polls in the state, as the Congress aims to address the anti-incumbency sentiment and attract Muslim voters by promising reservations.

In the context of minority welfare, the manifesto explicitly states, "After caste census, we will undertake to provide reservation as per their population." Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has committed to conducting a caste census if the party comes to power in the state. The move is seen as part of the party's attempt to use appeasement politics to its advantage, especially in the backdrop of the competitive political landscape in Rajasthan.

This strategy echoes the Congress's recent promises in Telangana, where it pledged financial assistance and benefits to specific communities, particularly the minority population. In Telangana, the party assured financial support for students, honorarium for religious leaders, digitization of land records, and infrastructure development in certain areas.

The Congress in Rajasthan faces challenges related to anti-incumbency, and by targeting the Muslim community with promises of reservations, the party aims to secure its foothold in the upcoming elections. The move aligns with the broader trend of political parties employing targeted promises and policies to win support from specific demographics, often based on religious or caste considerations.
