In a bid to address corruption and promote development, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi unveiled the party's manifesto for Assam, which includes a promise to prevent government contracts from being awarded to close relatives of MLAs. The manifesto emphasizes transparency in governance, proposing the creation of an Anti-Corruption Commission with judicial oversight and whistleblower protections. Key initiatives include prioritizing local residents for jobs and contracts, immediate flood relief, and measures to control erosion. The manifesto also introduces a Rs 1,000 crore (approximately $120 million USD) Assam Youth Entrepreneur Venture Fund aimed at supporting first-time startups, alongside a simplified digital system for business registration. Other commitments include universal healthcare, improved education access, and a focus on cultural preservation. The Congress party aims to transform Assam into a robust economy, reviving traditional industries and ensuring constitutional safeguards for indigenous communities. The manifesto further pledges to implement the Assam Accord fully and protect tribal lands under the Sixth Schedule and Forest Rights Act.
