The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has made numerous sweeter promises in Haryana, the northern Indian state that goes into assembly elections in October, including guaranteed jobs for Agniveers and 10 industries cities.
BJP released its manifesto in Rohtak in the presence of its president JP Nadda, Haryana BJP president Mohan Lal Badoli, and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. More than two crore voters are expected to participate in the Haryana polls, scheduled for October 5.
Nadda touched on the party’s Sankalp Patra, saying all women in Haryana will be provided financial assistance of Rs 2,100 per month under the ‘Lado Laxmi Yojna’. He said that under the Chirayu Ayushman scheme, they can benefit from an extra Rs 5 lakh as it has been increased to Rs 10 lakh.
The BJP, as per its manifesto, has promised to offer scooters to college-going female students under the Awal Balika Yojana, LPG cylinders for Rs 500 under the Har Ghar Grahini Yojana, especially to Antyodaya BPL families, and guaranteed jobs of Agniveers.

Nadda criticized the opposition Congress party for offering government jobs. The BJP accused the Congress of trying to exploit the state’s resources for personal benefit. Nadda said it’s a mere formality for Congress, a party that has been deceiving the people.
On its part, the Congress says if elected to power it will guarantee legal assurance for minimum support prices (MSP) and caste surveys. It also promised enhanced social security, women empowerment, family welfare, and housing for the poor.
