BJP to unveil manifesto for Lok Sabha elections on Sunday, PM Modi to be present

NEW DELHI: The BJP is set to unveil its 'Sankalp Patra' (manifesto) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on Sunday at its party headquarters in Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior party leaders will be present at the event, coinciding with the birth anniversary of B R Ambedkar.

The theme of the manifesto will be "Modi's Guarantee: Developed India 2047," with a focus on cultural nationalism.

According to several media reports citing party sources, the BJP's manifesto will focus on development, a prosperous India, women, youth, the poor, and farmers. The party pledges to fulfil only those promises that are achievable.

With key promises like the Ram temple construction and Article 370 repeal fulfilled, attention will now likely turn to the party's cultural agenda in the manifesto.

The manifesto is also expected to highlight measures for the youth, women, farmers, and the poor, key groups often mentioned by PM Modi.

A manifesto committee led by defence minister Rajnath Singh has deliberated on the contents, gathering 1.5 million suggestions through nationwide initiatives and social media campaigns. The party aims to address the aspirations of various sections of society through its election pledges.

Meanwhile, the Congress has already released its manifesto titled "Nyay Patra." Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi have highlighted 25 guarantees to the public, with a key promise to provide annual financial assistance of Rs100,000 to the poorest women in families.
