Seeking a clear mandate, the punchline of the manifesto is “BJP ke saath chaliyein, Narendra Modi ke saath chaliyein.”

Chandigarh : BJP in Haryana Thursday promised food grain at Re 1 per kg for BPL families, free treatment to the poor and stipend for unemployed youths in its election manifesto, which it released Thursday hoping to come to power on its own for the first time in the state.

The manifesto said if voted to power, BJP will take steps for stricter implementation of the laws against cow slaughter, even as chairman of the Manifesto Committee Ganeshi Lal said cow slaughter will be equated with culpable homicide.

The manifesto said, BJP’s focus areas will be agriculture, rural development, industry, education, service sector, welfare of youth and women, welfare of Scheduled Caste and Backward Classes, said the manifesto released here by party spokesman and senior leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

The manifesto said if in power, BJP will bring the GDP growth in the state to 10 per cent over the next five years. The party said it is committed to bring SYL Canal water to the state. The BJP government, if formed, will usher in milk revolution in the state and dairy sector will be promoted. It will also work towards bringing a second Green Revolution, it said.

Seeking a clear mandate, the punchline of the manifesto is “BJP ke saath chaliyein, Narendra Modi ke saath chaliyein.” (Come with BJP, come with Narendra Modi).

It said BJP intends to give better facilities to villages, bring transparency in administration, root out corruption and end the menace of female foeticide.

Four laning of the national and the state highways will be done, round-the-clock power supply will be given to various categories of consumers, clean drinking water will be made available to each household, free treatment will be given to the poor in hospitals and free medicines will be made available to them, it said.
