NEW DELHI: Finance minister Arun Jaitley on Tuesday criticised the recently released manifesto of the Congress party, saying that it consists of agendas aiming to break the nation.

"Some of the ideas are positively dangerous," Jaitley said reacting to the Congress manifesto released earlier today.

Jaitley said that the mistake committed by the Nehru-Gandhi family in Kashmir continues to thrive under the current Congress party as well.

The finance minister also questioned the credibility of the people who drafted the Congress manifesto.

"Even though there was a drafting committee, it appears that some of the important points have been drafted by the Congress president's friend in 'Tukde Tukde gang' when it deals with J&K," he added.

Jaitley said that the Congress party is under the influence of Naxalites and jihadis and does not deserve a single vote for suggesting to scrap the sedition law.

"They are saying the law of sedition will be removed, the party who wants this does not have the right to get even a single vote," he said.

He also said even tokenism has not been done on farm loan waiver in the five states where the Congress is in power.

Rejecting BJP's charges in a separate press conference, the Congress asserted that a "competitive government" under Congress will fulfil all the promises made in the manifesto.

"The promises in Congress manifesto are not implementable for a BJP government ... a competent government by the Congress will deliver on these," senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said.

In its manifesto, Congress, which had accused the government of trying to suppress dissent after a colonial-era sedition law was used recently against students marking the anniversary of the execution of a Kashmiri separatist, vowed to scrap a law it said has been "misused and, in any event, become redundant".
