BJP to bring out local manifesto in Assam

PTI GUWAHATI, FEBRUARY 25 BJP today said it would bring out a “local manifesto” for each constituency, besides an overall one specific to Assam for the forthcoming Assembly polls in the state. “Every locality or region has specific problems and issues. Our local units will seek suggestions from people in each constituency and then we will bring out constituency- specific local manifestos,” BJP national vice-president Vinay Sahasrabuddhe told reporters here. The party will release an overall manifesto for the state and the local ones will be in addition to that, he said. Sahasrabuddhe said it would be done after the Election Commission notifies the polls. “We are working on the manifesto part. Though no official committee has been formed yet, some people are working on informally, mainly regarding our old manifesto of last Lok Sabha election in Assam,” he said.
