New Delhi: Statewide caste survey, legal guarantee for MSP, cheaper LPG and increased pensions are among promises made by the Congress in its manifesto for the Haryana assembly polls released Wednesday.The 53-page manifesto was unveiled by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi..

Kharge also announced seven guarantees for voters in Haryana on behalf of the state Congress...

We are making this announcement from the AICC office, and I would just like to say that we have divided these promises into seven categories, keeping the budget in mind, he said.. Alongside him were Haryana Congress president Chaudhary Udai Bhan, former chief minister Bhupinder Hooda, four-time MLAGeeta Bhukkal and Congress general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal..

Ashok Chhabra, co-incharge of Haryana BJPs media wing, told ThePrint that the Congresss promise of two lakh government jobs is a hollow pledge and if put into action, will operate on a parchi and kharchi (bribery and favouritism) basis...

On the Congresss other promises, Chhabra said, BJP government in Haryana is already providing gas cylinders at this price to the poor and has taken solid steps to support farmers by purchasing 24 crops at MSP...
