The bharatiya janata party (BJP) is gearing up to release its manifesto for the lok sabha elections in 2024, with a target of securing over 370 seats for itself and 400 seats for the nda alliance. Scheduled for discussion in the upcoming meeting of the bjp election manifesto committee on april 4, the manifesto is expected to carry significant promises, particularly for farmers.
It is speculated that the manifesto will be branded as "Modi's guarantee," signalling a personal commitment from prime minister Narendra Modi. One major announcement anticipated in the manifesto is an increase in the farmers' honour fund, reflecting the party's focus on addressing agricultural issues. Union minister Piyush Goyal recently indicated the imminent release of the manifesto, noting the substantial public engagement through channels like missed call services and the Namo app, with over 3 lakh and 2 lakh suggestions received, respectively.
This was led by Union Defence minister Rajnath Singh, the 27-member manifesto committee of the bjp is structuring the document around two overarching themes: Modi's guarantee and the vision of a developed india by 2047. The manifesto will also feature a review of the government's achievements over the past decade and the fulfilment of promises made in previous manifestos.
Emphasizing inclusivity, the BJP's manifesto this time is tailored to cater to the needs of the poor, farmers, youth, and women. It is poised to introduce several changes, outlining a roadmap for the party's agenda in the upcoming term. With an eye on the first phase of voting scheduled for april 19, there are indications that the bjp may unveil its manifesto ahead of the electoral process, signalling its commitment to voters and setting the tone for the campaign ahead.
