UP Congress manifesto 2012: The Congress party on Tuesday released its election manifesto for uttar Pradesh, promising to develop the state's neglected infrastructure, and make it a corruption-free state, if elected. The Congress promises a school in every village, one intermediate college for every 2,500 families, residential schools for the very backward, and 500 model schools. The 20 lakh jobs that its vision statement released last week envisaged. It also promises doctors available at walking distance for all, upgraded district hospitals, a health lokpal (ombudsman) at the state level to ensure implementation of health schemes.

In fact, there will be focus on full and timely implementation of the UPA government's policies - that includes the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for backward minorities that the Centre has pushed through. The party also promises to explore the idea of having a sub quota for very backward Dalits. Clean UP is the mantra and the Congress says that does not only mean physical cleanliness. It promises action against the corrupt and says it will bring the Chief Minister under the Lokayukta.
