New Delhi: Barely hours to go before the first phase of polling in Gujarat, the BJP on Friday released its manifesto for the state elections with promises for women, farmers and housing for all. The “sankalp patra” (vision document) carries the photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah with the slogan - “Each Gujarati speaks in a single voice, I am development, I am Gujarat”.
Releasing the manifesto in Ahmedabad, BJP’s Gujarat in-charge Arun Jaitely said that the Congress was making false promises in Gujarat. He claimed that Gujarat grew at the average rate of 10 per cent amongst large states. The manifesto avoids making tall promises and focuses on doubling farmers' income, constructing 50 lakh houses in the next five years, increasing pension for widows.
