Uttarakhand Congress to seek public suggestions before releasing manifesto; participation via email and WhatsApp.
Dehradun. The Uttarakhand Congress has intensified its preparations for the upcoming assembly elections. This time, the party plans to seek public opinion before drafting its election manifesto. The Congress will directly solicit suggestions from the state’s residents via email and WhatsApp. The party aims to create a manifesto that incorporates the problems, needs, and expectations of every section of society.
Congress leaders state that the manifesto will not merely be a political document but a reflection of the public’s voice and suggestions. To this end, the party is preparing to reach out to people on a large scale. Election promises and policies will be finalized based on the suggestions received from ordinary citizens.
The party plans to release its manifesto as soon as the assembly elections are officially announced. Preparations for this are already underway at the levels of the manifesto committee and the organization. The Congress aims to present a vision to the public before the elections that takes into account the state’s actual needs.
According to the Congress, the challenges vary across different regions of Uttarakhand. Migration, employment, healthcare, and education are major challenges in the mountainous areas, whereas issues such as development, transportation, inflation, and employment are significant in the plains. The party intends to include all these issues in the manifesto.
Through the process of gathering public suggestions, the Congress seeks to understand the views of the youth, women, farmers, employees, traders, and ordinary citizens. Party leaders believe that engaging with the public to understand their problems is a crucial part of the election strategy.
The Congress has prepared to use digital platforms as a primary means of communicating with the public. People will be able to send their suggestions directly to the party via email and WhatsApp. This will enable residents of even remote areas to participate in the manifesto-drafting process.
Party leaders note that the people of Uttarakhand have been grappling with various issues for a long time. Key among these are unemployment, the migration of youth, the state of government services, healthcare facilities, and problems related to natural disasters. The Congress claims that the manifesto, being drafted based on public suggestions, will present a roadmap to address these issues.
With the assembly elections approaching, all political parties are busy formulating their strategies. While the BJP is preparing to reach out to the public highlighting its development initiatives and the government’s achievements, the Congress is focusing on prioritizing issues that directly concern the people.
The Congress believes that a manifesto prepared with public participation will be more effective. According to party leaders, this will give people the sense that election promises are based on their needs rather than merely reflecting the political parties’ own ideas.
Priorities will be determined after analyzing the suggestions received during the manifesto drafting process. The decision regarding which issues to include in the party’s election agenda will be based on the feedback obtained from the public.
Political activity surrounding the Uttarakhand assembly elections is expected to intensify in the coming days. This move by the Congress is viewed as a strategy to strengthen its connection with the public alongside its election preparations.
All eyes will now be on the key issues that emerge from the public suggestions and how the Congress incorporates them into its manifesto. The party asserts that the manifesto will be drafted with due consideration for the expectations and needs of every section of society in the state.
