The nine focus areas of the document with the punchline of "Justice, Development and Right (Nyaya, Vikas aur Adhikar)" are employment, agriculture, education, health, women empowerment, empowerment of weaker sections including most backward classes, minorities and SCs STs.

The document is an attempt by Congress to convince the electorate of its intention to bring about a change in the state, which had been ruled for more than two decades by BJP, SP and BSP, party sources said.
