PM Modi said “the party’s ‘Sankalp Patra’ empowers all 4 strong pillars of developed India – Youth, women, poor and farmers.” “The entire country waits for the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’.
There is a big reason behind this as in the last 10 years the BJP has implemented every point of its manifesto as a guarantee on the ground,” he added.
“The party’s Sankalp Patra is a reflection of the aspirations of young India’s youth,” the Prime Minister said. “The focus of our manifesto is on dignity of life, quality of life, quantity of opportunity and quality of opportunity,” PM Modi asserted.
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 event.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh during the event said that PM Modi’s guarantees are seen as pure as 24-carat gold and BJP’s manifesto seen as gold standard in world politics.
“Under the leadership of PM Modi, we have fulfilled all our commitments. Through its manifesto, the BJP presents a roadmap for building a strong India. BJP also puts forward its commitment to the development and welfare of every section of society. I can proudly say that we have delivered all the promises that we made to the people in the last 10 years. Whatever we promise, we deliver; there has been no discrepancy in our words, deeds and actions,” Rajnath said.
The key theme of BJP’s manifesto is “Modi ki Guarantee” for “Developed India 2047”. The manifesto, which has 14 promises, centres around PM Modi’s focus on GYAN – Garib, Yuva, Annadata and Nari.
The party had appointed a committee headed by defence minister Rajnath Singh to deliberate on the manifesto. The party had launched multiple exercises, including massive campaigns across the country to seek people’s suggestions before the release of the ‘Sankalp Patra’.
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.
During the event, BJP distributed its party’s election manifesto ‘Sankalp Patra’ to central government scheme beneficiaries at the party Headquarters in Delhi.
