The ruling party has also promised to repeal Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and stop National Register of Citizens (NRC).
Releasing the manifesto at the party headquarters here, TMC’s Rajya Sabha party leader Derek O’ Brien said, “These are the promises which we will fulfill as part of INDIA bloc, when it forms the next government.”
“We promise to control petrol and diesel prices through the formulation of a price stabilisation fund. We also promise to repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and stop the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in the country,” senior TMC leader Amit Mitra said.

She alleged that there will be “no democracy and elections if Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns to power” for the third consecutive term.
