GURUGRAM: Swaraj India is expected to release its manifesto for the city next weekend. Sheilza Bhatia, party’s candidate for the Gurgaon constituen­cy, said that the manifesto was ready and was being screened by the central committee for the final approval. Bhatia said that the manifesto had been prepared after incorporat­ing all the suggestion­s made by the residents during interactio­ns with the party over the past few weeks

“We have been meeting residents from different localities of the city to gather informatio­n about issues that matter most to them. Our manifesto will broadly be a framework that seeks to resolve these concerns. Our manifesto for Gurugram will reflect our vision for the developmen­t of the city,” said Bhatia.

She also added that the nature of the problems being faced by residents of New Gurugram and Old Gurugram was different. As such the manifesto has been prepared keeping in mind the same. Bhatia is expected to file her nomination on Thursday, following which the manifesto will be released.

A graduate from Delhi University, Bhatia is an entreprene­ur and has co-founded a startup. In the past, she has also worked towards the creation of livelihood opportunit­ies in Mewat.

The party, which has so far adopted a door-to-door campaign, will be changing its campaignin­g style after the nomination­s.

“Our campaignin­g style will be slightly creative. It will have some significan­ce and connection to the current problems being faced by the city. The new campaign will kick off from the next week onwards after the nomination­s,” said Bhatia, who campaigned in New Colony in Sector 7 on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the party also announced the names of candidates for the three assembly constituen­cies in Mewat on Sunday.
