The Congress leader, who had earlier announced to give 40 percent tickets to women in the elections besides smartphones to Class XII pass girls and an e-scooty to graduate girls, also unveiled other resolutions of the party.

These included complete loan waiver for farmers, Rs 2, 500 MSP for wheat, government jobs to 20 lakh people, Rs 25,000 to families to help them overcome their financial losses during the coronavirus crisis and halving of  electricity bills.

Speaking on the occasion, Priyanka said a separate manifesto will be brought for the women in a week’s time.
