Dehradun/New Delhi, Feb 2 (Agency) The BJP always talks about religion and not issues like employment, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Wednesday as she released the party manifesto for the assembly elections in Uttarakhand. Releasing the manifesto in the presence of senior party leaders, she told an Uttarakhand Swabhiman Pratigya rally that the BJP government in the state had not done anything for the welfare of the people for the last five years.
