Mumbai: MNS president Raj Thackeray on Friday released the party manifesto for the assembly polls, promising to usher in the “Nashik model of development” with a focus on better urban governance.
The manifesto highlights the decentralisation of industries at the district level to create employment opportunities and proposes for local technical education institutes to provide manpower to local industries.
The party also proposes to make Nashik in north Maharashtra, where it was in power in the local body for six years, the hub of agricultural exports.
The state should get the status of a “special industrial state”, and the party will endeavour to raise these issues in Parliament.
The MNS is contesting only 125 of the 288 seats in the assembly polls, while any party or alliance needs 145 seats to win the election.
The party claimed the day it comes to power in the state would be the last day for new slum settlements.
