A strong focus on national security, an ambitious expansion of income support to all farmers, pension for small and marginal farmers and traders, Rs 10 lakh accident insurance for traders under GST and a promise of lower taxes and Rs 100 lakh crore investment in infrastructure are highlights of the BJP manifesto released on Monday.
The ideological contrast to the Congress manifesto was sought to be established through formulations calling for revocation of Article 35A and a reiteration of BJP’s long-standing demand for scrapping Article 370 along with a promise to give a free hand to security forces to respond to terrorism. As in 2014, BJP called for all efforts within the constitutional framework to facilitate a Ram mandir in Ayodhya.
