Providing 300 units of free electricity to every household, revising the MSP of rice, wheat, and sugarcane, and making Gairsain the permanent capital of Uttarakhand are among the promises made by the AAP in its manifesto released on Friday.
Releasing the manifesto titled ‘Vachan Patra’ (document of pledges) in Uttarkashi, the Aam Aadmi Party’s chief ministerial candidate Ajay Kothiyal signed an affidavit promising to work honestly if elected.
He asked people to take legal action against the party if a single promise made in the manifesto is not fulfilled. Besides vowing to get Uttarkhand rid of corruption, it also pledged to double the state’s budget in five years, a separate budget for women’s welfare, carve out six new districts of Kashipur, Roorkee, Kotdwar, Didihat, Ranikhet, and Yamunotri, and pay Rs 1,000 each month to women above 18 years.
The Aam Aadmi Party said if it gets voted to power in Uttarakhand its government would provide jobs to every household and an allowance of Rs 5,000 each month to youths until they get a job.
