Congress President Rahul Gandhi will release the party's manifesto for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly polls on 27 April in Mangalore, sources said on Wednesday, 25 April.
During his two-day campaigning trip to the southern state, which starts on Thursday, Gandhi would also visit parts of Uttara Kannada like Ankola city, Mastikatte Circle (Kumta), Saraswati Circle (Honnavar) and hold a corner meeting at Bhatkal, the party said in a statement.

The leader refused to divulge more details, but added that the manifesto would have "something" for all sections of the society.
In the run-up to the high-stakes Karnataka polls, Gandhi had asked the Congress leaders to prepare a "people's manifesto", after taking the feedback of all the stakeholders.
On Gandhi’s campaigning, the Congress leader said the party workers wanted him to focus on the areas he was yet to visit.
So far, the Congress chief has held six rounds of campaigning in the southern state. The sixth phase of campaigning was on 7-8 April.
The election to the 224-member Karnataka Assembly will be held on 12 May. The southern state is slated to witness a three-corner contest involving the ruling Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the HD Deve Gowda-led Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)). The result of the polls will be announced on 15 May.
