Published by the Swatantra Party in 1970, the National Priorities Pamphlet is a transcript of the press conference addressed by MR Masani, MP and President of the Swatantra Party, in New Delhi on 31st December 1969. The speech lays emphasis on matters that need to be given immediate priority. First, a clean, efficient and prompt administration; second, the restoration of law and order; third, increased production and hard work; and lastly, a pragmatic approach to national problems, free from ideological emphasis or pre-conceptions. Masani argued how the Indira Gandhi government failed to address any of the aforementioned matters of priority.
