NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Tuesday released its manifesto for the Jharkhand Assembly elections, promising 250 units of free electricity, a caste-based census, and the completion of all pending government job appointments within a move year.
The manifesto was unveiled by Bandhu Tirkey , the chairman of the party's manifesto committee, with a primary focus on tribal rights and public welfare.
Among its key promises, the manifesto includes a 1932 Khatiyan-based domicile policy and the implementation of a Sarna religious code for tribal communities.
“The manifesto promises free electricity up to 250 units for the poor, an increase from the current 200 units. Additionally, all vacant government posts will be filled within a year,” said Tirkey at the unveiling.
The manifesto was released just a day ahead of the first phase of polling for 43 of Jharkhand’s 81 Assembly seats, pointing out Congress’s commitment to immediate change if elected.
Tirkey highlighted the extensive public consultation undertaken by the manifesto committee, saying, “In recognition of the tribal population’s needs, we conducted a Chaupal in every district to engage with the public directly. This manifesto is crafted for the common people, reflecting their priorities.”
