“We will focus on to make agriculture a prestigious profession. To make this possible, all their debt will be waived off in the first four months. Priority will be given to increase agricultural productivity and proper remuneration to their produce,” says the manifesto.

State NCP chief Jayant Patil said unemployment rate is rising in the state. For 32,000 vacancies, Patil said, the state government has received 32 lakh applications. “To deal with the situation, we will provide unemployment allowance to the jobless youths,” he said.

Another measure, we will take is to reserve 80% jobs in industries for locals. This will be implemented by bringing a legislation, said Balasaheb Thorat, state Congress president.

The two parties are contesting the state assembly elections in alliance with other small parties.
