India needs a new vision, Congress launches manifesto for youths

The Congress has unveiled a new vision for Uttar Pradesh, promising employment and development. While releasing its Vision document, party leader Rahul Gandhi asserted that is "not hollow words" but has been drafted after consulting youth whose views are reflected in it. "Our understanding and our belief is that India needs a new vision. For new vision of India, you start from Uttar Pradesh,"Rahul Gandhi said. Addressing a press conference at the launch of the 'youth manifesto' called 'Bharti Vidhan', Gandhi said only Congress can give a new vision to the youth in the state. The Congress has decided after speaking to the youth of UP, as to how we can create jobs for you, Gandhi said while releasing the vision document with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra at party headquarters in Delhi on Friday. Rahul Gandhi said that the vision that the BJP had proposed in 2014 is a complete disaster. "The demographic dividend that India has is being turned by them into a demographic disaster. Even some in the BJP agree that something has gone very wrong," Gandhi said.

"We have seen the difficulties they face and what their problems are. All political parties just come and promise jobs - 25 lakh jobs, 30 lakh jobs - but no one explains in detail how they will do it. The Congress has done so in this youth manifesto," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the party's general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh, said. She said her party in UP wants the focus to be on development and not on negative propaganda based on caste or communalism that is going around.
