BJP's 20-Point Plan for Haryana: Rs 2,100 Monthly for Women, 2 Lakh Jobs Promised

In a bold move to capture the imagination of Haryana's voters, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its manifesto for the upcoming state assembly elections on Thursday. The 'Sankalp Patra' or commitment letter, unveiled by BJP National President JP Nadda in Rohtak, outlines 20 ambitious promises for the state's future.

Women's Empowerment Takes Center Stage

At the heart of the BJP's manifesto is the Lado Lakshmi scheme, which pledges to provide Rs 2,100 per month to women in the state. This amount is notably Rs 100 higher than the Congress party's recent promise of Rs 2,000 monthly support to women. The manifesto also includes plans to distribute Scooty vehicles to all village college girls, underscoring the party's commitment to women's empowerment and education.

2 Lakh Jobs and Youth Development 

Addressing the crucial issue of employment, the BJP has committed to creating two lakh government jobs. In a significant move, the party has also guaranteed government employment to all Agniveers from Haryana. Additionally, the manifesto promises a monthly stipend to five lakh youth, tackling concerns about unemployment and skill development head-on.

10 New Industrial Towns for Economic Growth

The BJP's vision for Haryana's economic development is crystallized in its promise to establish 10 new industrial towns, including one in Kharkhauda. This ambitious plan aims to boost the state's industrial sector and create a multitude of employment opportunities. The manifesto also mentions the introduction of new Vande Bharat trains, signaling a commitment to improving transportation infrastructure.

Speaking at the manifesto release event, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini emphasized the party's track record of fulfilling promises. He stated, "In 2014 and 2019, we fulfilled all the promises made in our manifestos. The people of Haryana have trusted the BJP for 10 years, and we will continue to work for their welfare."

The manifesto committee chairman, Om Prakash Dhankhar, revealed that over 2 lakh suggestions from the public were incorporated into the document. He said, "We have included area-wise needs and addressed the concerns of every section of society, including women, youth, farmers, industrialists, small traders, and backward classes."

Other Notable Promises

The BJP's 20-point plan also includes several other significant promises:

1. Five lakh new houses to be constructed
2. Free-of-cost dialysis services in hospitals
3. Olympic nurseries to be established in every district
4. A 10,000-acre jungle safari park in south Haryana 

As the election campaign intensifies, the BJP's comprehensive manifesto has set a high bar for its competitors. The coming weeks will reveal how voters respond to these promises and whether they will translate into electoral success for the party.
