A team of the People’s Manifesto Committee (PMC) on Tuesday submitted a memorandum to Governor Prof Ganeshi Lal seeking that all election manifestos of all political parties be brought into legal fold so that the parties would be accountable for implementation of their promises.
The team comprising Sudarshan Chhotray, Subash Chandra Panda, Anil Pradhan, Tphahima Akhtar and Dr Niruddin handed over the memorandum to the Government and requested him to send recommendations to the President and the Election commission of India. They requested that a legal syetm be adopted to see that elected representatives implement their promises.
