New Delhi: Ahead of the Lok Sabha Election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unveiled its manifesto, emphasizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s focus on the ‘GYAN’ – the poor, the youth, farmers, and women.

The manifesto was released by PM Modi, along with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP chief JP Nadda at the BJP headquarters in Delhi.

PM Modi stated that the manifesto revolves around the four pillars of ‘Viksit Bharat’ – women power, youth power, farmers, and the poor. He emphasized its focus on the “dignity of life” and the “quality of life,” along with the quantity and quality of opportunities.

“In this Sankalp Patra, we have emphasized both the quantity and quality of opportunities. We aim to create numerous jobs by building infrastructure and focus on high-value services by promoting startups and global centers,” PM Modi said.
