New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday released its election manifesto for the upcoming Assembly polls assuring the best possible welfare measures for minority, Dalits as well as 10 per cent reservation in government jobs to economically backward upper caste people.
Releasing the manifesto, UP Congress Committee President Salman Khurshid and in charge of UP party affairs Ashok Gehlot said the document aimed at giving a blueprint of speedy development of the state and rid the people of communal, caste and corrupt political parties.
The party also seemed confident that it will have a major role in the next government formation in the state.
Sparing nothing against SP, BSP and BJP, the Congress manifesto promised to provide a government, which would follow the path of development, communal and social harmony, which the party believes has stopped after the exit of Congress from the state 17 years ago.
”No government in the state could be formed or run without Congress,” senior Congress leaders told UNI.
But if the party has already discarded SP, BSP and BJP as allies then how is the involvement of the Congress in the government formation being claimed?
Disagreeing Khurshid said, “The situation may arise in which other parties lend support to the Congress.”
Both the leaders, accompanied by Congress Legislature Party leader Pramod Tiwari and former UP chief minister Ram Naresh Yadav, asserted the election manifesto for the UP polls was just a reflection of UPA's election manifesto at the Centre.
