Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will release the assembly election manifesto of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC).
Though the manifesto release date is yet to be finalised, Manmohan Singh agreed to launch the document, defining the party s blueprint for governance in Punjab, at a meeting with AICC in-charge of Punjab affairs Asha Kumari and PPCC chief Amarinder Singh here.
Singh along with Asha discussed with Singh the key points in the manifesto, which will now be given final shape by the PPCC manifesto committee led by former Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Badal.
Talking to media persons later, Asha said it had been decided by the party to take Singh s views on the manifesto draft before releasing it in view of his expertise on economic issues.
“Congress does not believe in taking arbitrary decisions, without understanding the nuances of the subject, and felt it was important to involve Singh in the finalisation of the manifesto, given its impact on the people of Punjab, she said.
