The opposition Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) on Wednesday released its draft election manifesto highlighting that its Nyay Yojna, proposed by Rahul Gandhi to help poor families, will be implemented in the state.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Ramesh Chennithala, said the final manifesto will be prepared after consulting people and the Front will approach the election with a "democratic" manifesto.
Ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had proposed the Nyay Yojna, a minimum income guarantee scheme, to help the poor families in the country if voted to power.
"If we are elected to power, we will implement the Nyay Yojna and Kerala will become the first state in the country to implement the same. Each deserving family will receive Rs 6,000 each. This scheme will help eradicate poverty from the state," Mr Chennithala told the media
He said the final election manifesto will be prepared after consulting various senior leaders, including Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor.
Meanwhile, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, Mullappally Ramachandran, on Wednesday said his party, if voted to power, will continue with the Life Mission project of the current government.
Earlier last month, UDF convener MM Hassan, had said that the ambitious projects of the current Left Democratic Front (LDF) -- Life Mission, Adram Mission, Public Education Mission and Haritha Kerala Mission-- will be discontinued.
