With an eye on the 2017 Punjab Assembly election, AAP today unveiled its 'Youth Manifesto' in Amritsar promising 25 lakh jobs in five years, free Wi-Fi hotspots in villages and a special law for ensuring imprisonment till death for drug dealers.
Delhi Chief Minister and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal unveiled the party's manifesto for the youth. The party, which is aiming to capture power in the state, will come out with separate manifestos for different sections of society.
"Our endeavour is to make the Punjab youth job creators, instead of job seekers," the party said in the manifesto, prepared by Punjab Dialogue Committee Chairman Kanwar Sandhu, adding that 25 lakh jobs and employment opportunities will be created in the next five years.
AAP, if it forms government in the state, will create employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in both rural and urban areas, it said.
The party has also promised to make the administration corruption-free. "AAP government will launch a massive drive to root out corruption from all levels of administration and restore the credibility of the government of Punjab and the prestige of the state as the pre-eminent destination for setting up businesses, industry and trade," it said.
