Assam: AAP releases LS poll manifesto in Dibrugarh, pledges tea industry revival
Dibrugarh: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its election manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Assam at an event in Dibrugarh.
The manifesto highlights key areas such as the revitalization of the Assam tea industry, enhancements in education and healthcare, employment generation, and addressing flood-related challenges.
During the event, Timarpur MLA Dilip Pandey, the party's chief whip, criticized the BJP government for its failure to fulfill promises made to the people.
"Since coming to power in 2014, the BJP has made numerous commitments but has fallen short on delivery. In contrast, under the leadership of Arvind Kejriwal, our party has diligently pursued developmental initiatives. Unfortunately, the BJP seems more interested in hindering progress.
"The recent arrest of Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate is a blatant misuse of power and a violation of constitutional norms," Pandey remarked while campaigning for Manoj Dhanowar, the AAP's candidate for the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha seat.
Pandey also highlighted the contrast between the education policies of the AAP-led Delhi government and the actions of the Assam government.
"While Assam is witnessing the closure of government schools, we are dedicated to bolstering them. Delhi's government schools serve as a model for providing quality education with all necessary facilities. Unlike others, we believe in delivering on our promises, not making hollow commitments," Pandey emphasized.
Manoj Dhanowar, the AAP's candidate for the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha seat, pledged to prioritize public service if elected.
"Our struggle transcends mere political rivalries; it's about safeguarding democracy, which is currently under threat. The neglect of the tea industry by the government is concerning. If given the mandate, our foremost objective will be the revival of the tea sector," Dhanowar asserted.
