The BJP’s manifesto for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh assembly polls demonstrates the party’s emphasis on women voters and inclusive development. The Laadli Behna Yojana, a scheme aimed at empowering women, takes center stage in the manifesto. Under this program, the BJP promises affordable housing and gas cylinders to beneficiaries. Additionally, the party commits to providing free education to girls from economically disadvantaged families until they complete their post-graduation. Other educational measures include an annual grant of INR 1,200 for students’ uniforms, books, and school bags.
The manifesto also addresses the needs of farmers. The BJP pledges a higher minimum support price for wheat and paddy, with rates of INR 2,700 and INR 3,100 per quintal respectively. This proposal contrasts with the Congress’ promise of INR 2,600 per quintal for wheat. Furthermore, the BJP manifesto emphasizes the continuity of farmer welfare schemes like the PM Kisan Samman and CM Kisan Kalyan Yojana, which provide financial assistance of INR 12,000 annually to farmers.
Apart from these key areas, the BJP’s manifesto outlines various infrastructure development plans. The party intends to establish technological and medical institutes on par with prestigious institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). The manifesto also mentions the provision of six new expressways and an allocation of INR 3 lakh crore for tribal empowerment initiatives.
Cultural development is another focus, with the manifesto proposing the creation of 13 cultural corridors known as “Lok.” Additionally, the BJP plans to renovate important pilgrimage sites like the Sharada Shakti Peeth in Maihar and the Harsiddhi Mata Shakti Peeth in Ujjain.
Overall, the BJP’s manifesto combines women empowerment, farmer welfare, infrastructure development, and cultural preservation to appeal to various sections of society. It aims to secure the trust of Madhya Pradesh’s electorate with promises of equitable growth and progress.
