Slogans
'Ab Hoga Nyay'
Congress on Sunday 7 April 2019 launched its Lok Sabha campaign slogan 'Ab Hoga Nyay' (Now, There Will be Justice) by weaving a narrative around the "injustice" meted out to countrymen and "atmosphere of despair" prevailing in the country during the Narendra Modi government.[5]
Chowkidar Chor Hai
Chowkidar Chor Hai (Hindi: चौकीदार चोर है। is a Hindi slogan used by the Indian National Congress in its campaign for the 2019 Indian general election. The slogan was coined by the Congress' Prime Ministerial candidate Rahul Gandhi as a slogan against Narendra Modi, with the intention of conveying that the person who was entrusted with safeguarding public money was in fact a thief.[6]
