Days ahead of the Rajasthan elections, BJP national president JP Nadda released the party manifesto, promising Rs 450 subsidy on LPG cylinder, Rs 2,700 bonus per quintal on MSP for wheat, among others.
Nadda released the ‘Sankalp Patra’ in Jaipur along with senior party leaders of the state, including former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. BJP’s election in-charge for Rajasthan and union minister Pralhad Joshi, BJP in charge for Rajasthan Arun Singh, state president CP Joshi and other leaders were present during the release of the manifesto.
Highlighting the state’s paper leak scams, Nadda said that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will be formed to probe the scams, if the party comes to power in the state.
The party has also promised savings bond for girl child, ‘mahila thana’ in every district, ‘mahila desk’ in every police station.
“I would like to say that for other parties, the manifesto is just a formality. But for the BJP, it’s a roadmap for development.
