Rohtak: Eyeing to retain power, the BJP on Thursday released its election manifesto for Haryana Assembly elections, promising a slew of measures, including jobs to 2 lakh youth, procurement of all crops 24 at the MSP, financial assistance of Rs 2,100 per month for women under Lado Laxmi Yojana and government jobs to Agniveers. BJP chief JP Nadda unveiled the BJP’s poll manifesto for Haryana polls in presence of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and senior party leaders.
During the unveiling of the manifesto in Hindi, Nadda said that the Congress made the manifesto a “dilutable document” in the eyes of the people. “Congress ended the relevance of the manifesto. For them this document is just a formality and a means to deceive people,” he added.
