Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today launched the party's manifesto for the youth of Uttar Pradesh ahead of the assembly elections, saying only the party can give a new vision to the youth in the state. The party is going to the polls with youth and women in focus and has announced that it will reserve 40 per cent of tickets for women in Uttar Pradesh.
Addressing a press conference at the launch of the 'youth manifesto' called 'Bharti Vidhan', Rahul Gandhi said the vision document is "not hollow words" but has been drafted after consulting youth whose views are reflected in it. "The youth in Uttar Pradesh need a new vision an d only Congress can give that vision to the state," the former president said.
"We don't spread hatred, we unite people and we want to create a new Uttar Pradesh with the strength of youth," Mr Gandhi added.
In her remarks, party leader Priyanka Gandhi said the biggest problem in the state is recruitment and the youth are disappointed. She said her party in UP wants the focus to be on development and not on negative propaganda based on caste or communalism that is going around.
Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Manipur, Punjab, and Uttarakhand will vote over seven phases starting February 10, with counting of votes scheduled for March 10.
