AGP brings out vision document for election

Guwahati, Mar 14 (PTI) The opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) today brought out a vision document titled "Vision 2030 for Assam" in view of the ensuing assembly election in the state.

Formally releasing the document, party president Chandra Mohan Patowary said as the AGP represents the aspirations of state''s regional identities, it had requested eminent academicians and intellectuals to prepare the vison document.

Complimenting those who were instrumental in making the document, Patowary said the party will concentrate on "people sensitive, sustainable inclusive development for the people of Assam".

"The vision plan will incorporate all the critical issues that needs to be addressed with long and short term measures for ushering in a progressive state", he said.

Lambasting the Congress-led government for its claim of bringing in development in the state, the AGP president said the slogan of development was only election oriented.

"Actually there has been no growth and the state''s per capita income is one of the lowest. We want to emphasise the need for sustainable growth", Patowary said.

The vision document which includes infiltration, border issues and agriculture will be incorporated in the election manifesto of the AGP to be declared soon, he said.
