Ahead of the 2022 Assembly election, the Congress’s promises range from jobs to gas cylinders
Reserve 40% of 20 lakh new jobs and 25% of all jobs in the police force for women; provide a scooter to every girl enrolled in a graduate programme and a smartphone to every girl in the 10+2 Classes; provide three free gas cylinders to every woman per year; and bring a law to punish police personnel who do not register complaints of crimes against women within 10 days of the reporting of the incident — with this ambitious list of promises, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday released a special manifesto for women ahead of the 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election.
Taking forward her announcement of fielding 40% women candidates in the State election, the manifesto includes a number of welfare, financial and security measures for women, whom the party is trying to woo in a State where caste, community and regional affinities have mattered most and continue to do so, if the campaigns of the main contenders, the Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) are considered.
