The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) has released its manifesto for the upcoming Panchayat elections on Tuesday, promising to reintroduce development schemes for the greater interest of rural community.

"There was something for every fragment in the society that has been "cheated" by the current BJP government." – He added
