The BJP today released its manifesto -Sankalp Patra – for the Lok Sabha polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders of the party attended the event at the party headquarters that coincides with the birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar, a towering leader from the Dalit community and an architect of the Indian Constitution.
The BJP had appointed a manifesto committee headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh that met twice to deliberate on its contents after the party had launched multiple exercises, including vans sent across the country and social media campaigns, to seek people’s suggestions.
The event started shortly after 9 am. Party president JP Nadda spoke first highlighting various achievements of the BJP govt since 2014.
Here are some of the top comments of JP Nadda:
- Today, more than 10 crore gas cylinders have been distributed in the country under the Ujjwala scheme.
- More than 11 crore Izzat Ghar have been built across the country.
- Following the path of Dr. Ambedkar, we have always striven to ensure social justice in Bharat right through our journey from the Bharatiya Jana Sangh to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
- Today, as we launch the Sankalp Patra, we must remember that BJP is an ideology-based party and it’s our responsibility to take that ideology forward in every election.
- Today, 4 crore houses have been built under the PM Awas Yojana and this work is being continued further.
- Today, out of 50 crore Jan Dhan accounts, 55.5% Jan Dhan accounts are opened in the name of women.
- In 2014, when Prime Minister Modi was elected leader of the Parliamentary Party, he said, ‘Our government is dedicated to the poor, the villages, and the people at the bottom of society’.
- Putting it into practice, in the last 10 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the country has worked to advance all these dimensions.
- On Article 370, Nadda said “You gave us a clear mandate and clear results came. You gave a clear mandate and Article 370 was abrogated.”On Ram Mandir, he says, “we also saw those days when Congress lawyers used to stand up and try to stop the judicial process and say that it will benefit the Bharatiya Janata Party. They were not concerned about the country, Ram Lalla. They did vote bank politics and kept creating obstacles but under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, a grand Ram temple was built…”
