Noting new in Sena manifesto for BMC polls: Ashok Chavan

Taking a dig at Shiv Sena's manifesto for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ashok Chavan today said it has highlighted old issues in a new packet.
Talking to reporters here after inducting workers from various political parties from Palghar district in the Congress, Chavan said Shiv Sena had repeated almost all assurances made in its manifesto five years ago.
"In five years the civic body under Shiv Sena has not been able to give the city pothole free roads," Chavan, a former Maharashtra Chief Minister, charged.
He said induction of workers from different parties in the party fold will strengthen the Congress to tackle the malnutrition in Palghar district and protect forest rights of tribals.

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray had today released his party's manifesto.
Among sops in the manifesto, Sena has promised to open e-learning centres for students and broaden the scope of teaching to meet demands in the current age.
The party also offered to give preference in jobs in the BMC to those educated in civic run schools.
