UPP president U G Brahma released the manifesto here pledging development in the region encompassing all the sectors including infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, forest & eco-tourism, power and industry.
Congress on March 6 said it will contest the Assembly polls in an understanding with UPP in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD).
The UPP manifesto also promised to establish a Bodoland Bamboo Control and Development Centre, Textile Industry, Bodoland Tea Board, Indo-Bhutan Trade Centre in the BTAD area by encouraging trade and small industries.
