Mumbai sources stated that the BJP on Tuesday released its manifesto for the upcoming Maharashtra polls, promising a one trillion dollars economy for the state with the creation of five crore jobs in next five years and houses for all by 2022. Meanwhile BJP working president JP Nadda released the manifesto, or the 'Sankalpapatra', along with Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, state party president Chandrakant Patil and mumbai unit head Mangal Prabhat Lodha.
Apparently the manifesto has promised the creation of five crore jobs in the next five years, taking the state's economy to one trillion dollars and it has also assured houses for all by 2022. Furthermore one of the other key takeaways of the manifesto is setting up a separate maintenance department for the national and state highways, where repairs and other works are currently done by the road construction contractors.
Meanwhile while releasing the manifesto, Nadda lavished praise on Fadnavis, saying "the chief minister has changed the political culture of Maharashtra". He said Maharashtra was earlier called as the state "full of corruption", but now it is known as "free of corruption”. Moreover the chief minister's seat had earlier become a "musical chair", but Fadnavis provided a stable government, he said. It has also promised to invest Rs five lakh crore in several infrastructure projects in the state. Further polling for all 288 Assembly seats in the state will be held on 21 October and counting of votes will take place on 24 October.
