Affirm the Right to Work and target full employment for all citizens within ten years

“Affirm the Right to Work as an objective and move towards full employment within a period of ten years.”
— Janata Party Election Manifesto 1977: Both Bread and Liberty

The verdict

The 10-year target to achieve full employment remained an aspirational goal; the Right to Work was never made an enforceable fundamental right, and the rolling plan was scrapped when the government collapsed in 1979-80 (per Economic history records).
