Delhi Assembly Elections: BJP Unveils Visionary Manifesto
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released its manifesto for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, calling it a “Sankalp Patra” (resolution document). Party president J.P. Nadda, while unveiling the manifesto, emphasized that it is a roadmap for transforming resolutions into reality.
“From Promises to Fulfillment”
Nadda highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s impact on political culture, saying, “In the past, political parties would announce manifestos and then forget them. But under PM Modi’s leadership, manifestos have evolved into actionable Sankalp Patras. Of the 500 promises made in 2014, 499 have been fulfilled.”
The BJP president added, “Our track record of delivering on promises is unmatched. With 99.9% fulfillment, this Sankalp Patra lays the foundation for a developed Delhi. Existing welfare schemes will continue, and we will work to integrate slum dwellers into the mainstream.”
