New Delhi: As a part of the exercise to include demands and aspirations of sections of people, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Friday met women representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions.
The women pradhans provided inputs for Congress's 2014 Lok Sabha elections manifesto.
Gandhi had in January, held consultations with representatives from various minority communities, including Muslims to incorporate their views and suggestions for the party manifesto.
The exercise comes in line with Gandhi's call for "opening the doors and windows of politics" for common man in formulating policies and programmes of the government as the party sought to reach out to the people directly in the manifesto-making exercise by launching a website to seek direct feedback from the public.
As a prelude, Gandhi had held a meeting with representatives of Dalits, tribal and OBCs on December 13 to discuss the social, political and economic challenges before the communities and formulate programmes to address them.
The consultation process called "Your Voice Our Pledge" has been started witha view to help shape the pan-India agenda of the manifesto.
