Congress Releases Manifesto for Poll-Bound Mizoram: Promises Affordable LPG, Old Age Pension, Health Insurance
The Opposition party Congress has unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming elections in Mizoram, pledging various welfare measures to improve the lives of the people. With a focus on affordability, the Congress promises to provide LPG cylinders at the reasonable price of Rs 750. This move is aimed at easing the burden on households and ensuring access to clean cooking fuel for all.
In addition to affordable LPG, the party has also committed to guaranteeing an old age pension of Rs 2,000 per month. This step acknowledges the importance of supporting senior citizens and providing them with financial security during their retirement years.
Furthermore, the Congress manifesto emphasizes the need for comprehensive health insurance coverage. If voted back to power, the party vows to extend health insurance benefits up to Rs 15 lakh, thus ensuring that the citizens of Mizoram are adequately protected against medical expenses.
During the release of the manifesto in Aizawl, the capital city of Mizoram, the Congress party reiterated its commitment to establishing an efficient, transparent, and corruption-free government. The manifesto also expresses the intention to strengthen grassroots democracy by empowering village councils and local bodies with more power, responsibilities, and financial resources.
The Congress envisions the development of better public infrastructure assets, such as roads, airports, and power systems, to facilitate the overall economic growth of Mizoram. By investing in long-lasting and reliable infrastructure, the party aims to create an environment conducive to enhanced trade, connectivity, and economic prosperity in the region.
As the election campaign gathers momentum, the unveiling of the Congress manifesto serves as a roadmap for the party’s vision and intentions for Mizoram. By focusing on vital areas such as affordable LPG, old age pensions, health insurance, and infrastructure development, the Congress seeks to address the pressing needs of the people and make a positive impact on their lives.
It remains to be seen how voters will respond to the promises and proposals laid out by the Congress. With multiple parties vying for power in Mizoram, the upcoming elections are expected to be closely contested. The manifestos put forward by different parties will be crucial in influencing the voters’ decisions as they evaluate the strategies and visions each party has to offer.
