The session which was conducted by chairman of the State Election Manifesto Committee and former Union Minister Suresh Pachouri, discussed threadbare on the party’s manifesto which would mainly focused on the State’s youths.
Congress general secretary in-charge Mohan Prakash was also present in the meeting. Sources from the State Congress informed that many important issues for the manifesto have been finalised and only central approval was required. The committee members have also been informed about the suggestions from the districts. Scrutiny of the suggestions received during the last meeting of the committee has also been completed.
All the members of the committee and party intended to focus on youth in the manifesto so that a large section of electorates could be impressed. A decision had also been arrived over inclusion of employees, women, tribals, poor and backward class’s issues in the party manifesto. It has been decided that populist announcements for these sections would also be included in the manifesto.
The meeting also took the decision that before the election manifesto a vision document of the party would be released and all the senior leaders of the party would release the document at all the divisional headquarters of the State on the same day.
