So, we got a good response to both the activities. In fact, the freebies offered by other parties have not gone well with the youngsters. Our manifesto evoked an overwhelming response particularly with youngsters as we did not announce any freebies. So much thought has behind the manifesto to make the promises people-friendly and viable to implement.”
