Congress To Bring People’s Manifesto In Punjab: Dr Amar Singh

Aug21,2026 | Gautam Jalandhari | Chandigarh

The Punjab Congress has begun preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections, with its newly constituted Manifesto Committee deciding to make the party’s election manifesto a “people’s manifesto” by seeking suggestions and demands from all sections of society across the state.

The first meeting of the Manifesto Committee appointed by the All India Congress Committee was held here today. The meeting was attended by Chairman of the Committee Dr Amar Singh, former Punjab minister Pargat Singh, Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla and Hardial Singh Kambhoj.

The committee held detailed discussions on the process of preparing the manifesto and emphasised that it should be a genuine reflection of the aspirations, concerns and priorities of Punjabis rather than being formulated solely within the party organisation.

It was decided that the committee would travel extensively across Punjab in the coming days and hold consultations with a wide range of stakeholders before drafting the final document.

The committee will seek inputs from trade and employee unions, associations, economic and social organisations, civil society groups, intellectuals, social workers and ordinary citizens.

Dr Singh said the views and demands emerging from these consultations would be examined and incorporated into the final manifesto to the extent possible.

The committee also decided to undertake large-scale consultations to identify and address the deep-rooted problems confronting Punjab. The exercise is intended to go beyond routine political promises and focus on solutions to issues affecting different sections and regions of the state.

The Manifesto Committee will begin its statewide consultation programme shortly, with members travelling to different parts of Punjab to interact directly with stakeholders and the public.

The senior Congress said the exercise would seek to ensure that the final manifesto reflects the aspirations of every section and region of Punjab, making it a document shaped by public participation.
