She said 10 lakh MSME units will be set up in Bengal.
Banerjee said five lakh job opportunities will be created in the state every year.
She described the manifesto as 'development oriented'.
I humbly present my 10 ‘Ongikars’ to build a stronger & more prosperous Bengal so that the wheels of development keep moving forward in the third term of our government. The aim is just one, to sustain Bengal as one of the leading states in the country. (1/4) pic.twitter.com/K0xNtrt7GB

She said free ration will be provided at the doorstep of people.
BJP leader Samik Bhattacharya slammed the TMC manifesto and said the government is engaging in 'dole giving' politics.
"The manifesto is not promising anything new to people," he said.
"It is failing to show any way to the people," he said.
The high-voltage Assembly polls in West Bengal will be held in eight phases from March 27 to April 29.
The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
