"I think it is a fantastic manifesto. Everybody should read it, especially first time voters and young people because this election must be about real issues that matter to people," she told reporters.

Later, Priyanka Gandhi tweeted: "I urge everyone, especially young people and 1st time voters- Please read our manifesto. Make this election about real issues.
