Srinagar: Ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) President Mehbooba Mufti on Friday unveiled the party’s manifesto at the party headquarters here.
Addressing the press, the President of PDP outlined the core principles and objectives encapsulated within the manifesto. “Today, we release our manifesto in light of the prevailing circumstances in Jammu and Kashmir,” she said and lamented the transformation of Jammu and Kashmir into what she described as an “open-air prison,” emphasizing the erosion of fundamental rights and resources crucial to the well-being of its people.
According to the PDP President, the manifesto focuses on youth empowerment and infrastructure development, with plans to allocate MPLAD funds for education, skill centers, and basic amenities in remote areas. Additionally, it addresses regional disparities by expanding constituencies and prioritizing projects like the Mughal Road Tunnel.
Moreover, the manifesto highlighted the imperative of addressing regional disparities, with a focus on enhancing connectivity and accessibility in marginalized constituencies such as Rajouri and Poonch. “The expansion of Anantnag constituencies to include Rajouri and Poonch was done without compunction. The bad weather often shuts down the road. Construction of Mughal Road Tunnel will be our top priority,” Mehbooba said.
