The Utkal Bharat on Thursday promised to introduce metro rail facility in Bhubaneswar, besides making the State capital a developed city in every respect if voted to power in the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls to be held on January 8.
Releasing the party’s election manifesto for the polls, Utkal Bharat president MA Kharabela Swain pointed out that the manifesto focuses
on eight points.
The manifesto includes no distribution of wine and meat during the corporation polls by its party candidates. If voted to power, the party candidates would not collect percentage and would ensure introduction of metro rail system from Jatni to Cuttack via Bhubaneswar.
Besides, a timeframe would be set to complete any development work while multistoried buildings would be constructed to accommodate slum dwellers in large numbers.
This apart, all the civic complaints would be received online, while steps would be taken to make Bhubaneswar a polythene-free city. The manifesto too focuses on ensuring of revision of the 1997-BPl list.
“We have fielded 12 candidates, including five women, for the BMC polls and the party will fight the elections on the ‘Stair’ (Shidi) symbol. All our party candidates have given their words to abide by the manifesto during the polls and if voted to power,” said Swain here at a Press conference.
