Fantastic!: Priyanka on Congress' manifesto; urges voters to focus on real issues

New Delhi: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra Tuesday described her party's manifesto as "fantastic" and appealed to the people to make the Lok Sabha election about real issues.

"I think it is a fantastic manifesto. Everybody should read it, especially first-time voters and young people because this election must be about real issues that matter to people," she told reporters.

Later, Priyanka Gandhi tweeted: "I urge everyone, especially young people and 1st-time voters- Please read our manifesto. Make this election about real issues."
