In the review meeting, All India Congress Committee (AICC) member Sahu expressed satisfaction over the progress of the state government.
He said that the speed with which efforts are being made to fulfil the promises made in the manifesto is commendable.
Later, Sahu told reporters that apart from fulfilling the promises of the manifesto, the state government has done some additional works and launched schemes in public interest which were not there in the manifesto.
He said that due to the Covid pandemic, there was delay in the execution of some of the promises.
"However, the overall execution is good," Sahu said.
Sahu said that he will prepare a report of the review meeting and submit it to the party high command in next two to three days.
