The decision to release such a manifesto, christened Priyadarshini, was taken in a meeting chaired by state unit chief Kamal Nath on Sunday, he said.

“Priyadarshini will be a manifesto for women, while there will be a common manifesto as well. Ten sub committees have been formed to submit manifesto related information pertaining to different segments of society,” Vachan Patra Advisory Committee chairman Rajendra Singh said.

Incidentally, in May last year, the Congress had said it would release a separate manifesto for each district in the state.
