BJP releases manifesto for Haryana elections, promises 2 lakh govt jobs | Latest India News

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda on Thursday released the party manifesto for the Haryana assembly elections, promising 200,000 government jobs in the state.

Nadda said the party manifesto is a serious document stating that the BJP has always kept its promises and even achieved what it had not promised during the elections.

“Haryana has changed under the BJP leadership. In 2014, the per capita income of the state was Rs 1.37 lakh, which has increased to Rs 3 lakh. In terms of exports, Haryana’s exports were only ₹68,000 crore, which increased to Rs 2.5 lakh crore,” Nadda said.

In its manifesto, the party also promised ₹2100 per month for women under Lado Lakshmi Yojna and gas cylinders for cooking ₹500 under Har Ghar Grihini Yojna in Haryana polls.

“What was the image of Haryana 10 years ago? Earlier, work was given on paper. Action was taken against people. Haryana was known for land scams, so while discussing their manifesto, we should look at these facts. So, when we talk about the manifesto, I want to say that we are doing continuous work,” Nadda said.

The BJP also promised scholarships to OBC and SC students from Haryana, who will be able to study in any government medical or engineering college across the country.
