The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its poll manifesto - 'Sankalp Patra' for the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 elections on Sunday at party headquarters in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party President JP Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah and several other senior leaders.
“The entire country waits for the BJP's ‘Sankalp Patra’. There is a big reason behind it as in the last 10 years, the BJP has implemented every point of its manifesto as a guarantee on the ground. This ‘Sankalp Patra’ empowers all the 4 pillars of developed India — Youth, women, poor and farmers,” PM Modi said.
Meanwhile, Congress earlier released its manifesto on April 5 titled ‘Nyay Patra’. The Congress manifesto focussed on five “pillars of justice” (Yuva Nyay, Naari Nyay, Kisaan Nyay, Shramik Nyay and Hissedari Nyay) with 25 guarantees under them.
