Make Poll Manifestoes Realistic

Major political parties have tasked their respective panels in drafting the election manifestoes keeping in view the upcoming polls for federal and provincial parliaments. Needless to say, an election manifesto provides a list of policies programmes and strategies that a political party declares it will enact and execute if it is voted into power with the endorsement of the voters and constituents. The word “manifesto” itself originates from the Latin word "manifestum" which refers to a list of facts that are brought to fore and disseminated for public knowledge, information and consumption. It is a practice in democracies that each political party competing in the polls produces an official manifesto which offers the basis of its campaign and reaching out to the voters.
