Chandigarh : A pledge to fulfill promises made ahead of the elections will be the key feature in the manifesto of the state Congress.
PPCCchief Capt Amarinder Singh will release the election manifesto under an oath.
Sources say the party wants to project Capt Amarinder Singh as a leader who delivers what he promises. “The entire campaign is thus built around him,” says a senior party functionary.
A manifesto committee constituted by AICC president Sonia Gandhi will finalise the party’s poll document that will comprise a pledge to address key issues. The manifesto will predominately be youth-oriented.
On the issue of drugs, it has been decided that apart from zero tolerance towards the menace, the party will come up with a time-bound programmee to eradicate the menace and set up fast-track courts for drug-related cases.
