Gurung said that the manifesto will focus on employment-oriented economy and expansion of market for agricultural products. He claims that the game changer project will be emphasized by giving priority to big industries. “We have laid emphasis on making the social services qualitative and the state service-oriented,” he said, adding that inclusive economy and environment-friendly economy will also be included in the manifesto.
