BJP's manifesto committee to hold its first meet on Monday
BJP's manifesto committee for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the party has kickstarted the process for its preparation, which is likely to showcase the roadmap for a 'Viksit Bharat' (developed India), and will hold its first meeting on Monday.
The 27-member manifesto committee led by senior BJP leader and Union defence minister Rajnath Singh has 11 ministers besides four chief ministers of the party-ruled states.
Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has been appointed the convenor of the committee while Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal has been made the co-convenor. The manifesto committe also has one BJP leader each from minority communities — including Sikh, Muslim and Christian.
The first meeting of the manifesto committee is scheduled to be held tomorrow where the members will deliberate on the BJP's manifesto for the elections, which it terms as 'Sankalp Patra'.
For the 2019 Lok Sabha polls also, Singh had chaired the BJP's manifesto committee. The BJP's 2019 manifesto had a chapter each on nation first, doubling farmers income, economy, women empowerment, cultural heritage, and foreign policy.
This time's manifesto is likely to highlight the fulfilment of the promises made in the 2019 manifesto such as construction of Ram temple and abrogation of Article 370 besides others, sources said. The manifesto for the 2024 polls would also focus on farmers. It is expected that there could be a specific chapter on farmers or agriculture in the manifesto.
Similarly, economy and infrastructure
