Bengal: Employment, Women's Safety Prioritized In Congress' Manifesto

The Congress on March 22 promised to restore West Bengal's lost glory as it released the party's manifesto for the upcoming State Assembly elections. The party assured the citizens of prioritising factors like employment, strict law and order, women's safety, social security and industrialization after coming to power. Claiming its disbelief in "politics of freebies", the Congress' major targets also included farmers' development as it plans to offer 20% subsidy on electricity to farmers.
