NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday released its party manifesto – ‘Sankalp Patra’ in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP national president J P Nadda and other senior leaders including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nirmala Sitharaman, S Jaishankar, and Ashwini Vaishnaw also marked their presence at the event that took place at the party Headquarters in Delhi.
While addressing the event, BJP national president J P Nadda said that the government’s successes in the last 10 years, like the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and the women’s reservation law, happened because the party got a clear mandate by the people.
“The achievements of the last 10 years are a result of a clear mandate,” Nadda said at the ceremony.
During the event, BJP distributed its party’s election manifesto ‘Sankalp Patra’ to central government scheme beneficiaries at the party Headquarters in Delhi.
The theme of the manifesto is “Modi’s Guarantee: Developed India 2047,” with a focus on cultural nationalism. The BJP’s manifesto focuses on development, a prosperous India, women, youth, the poor, and farmers.
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 massive campaigns across the country to seek people’s suggestions before the release of the ‘Sankalp Patra’.
The BJP received over 1.5 million suggestions for its manifesto, including more than 400,000 through the NaMo app and over 1.1 million through videos.
The Lok Sabha polls in India are scheduled to take place from April 19, 2024, to June 1, 2024, to choose the 543 representatives for the 18th Lok Sabha. These elections will be conducted over seven phases, with the outcome being declared on June 4.
Around 970 million individuals, out of a total population of 1.44 billion, are eligible to take part in the elections. The legislative assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, and Sikkim will coincide with the general election. Additionally, there will be by-elections for 35 seats across 16 states.
