BJP unveils its election manifesto in Karnataka, promises to implement uniform civil code

The ruling BJP promised the implementation of the uniform civil code and is set to provide 10 lakh jobs in the manufacturing sector. Apart from this, the saffron party also assured a State Capital Region tag for Bengaluru. These are the manifestos released by the party for the upcoming Karnataka assembly polls.

Party president JP Nadda released a document today named Praja Pranalike in Bengaluru. On this occasion, Chief Minister Basavaraj S Bommai, veteran party leader BS Yediyurappa, and others were present.

Mr Nadda, while talking to media persons, said that the manifestation was not prepared after marathon discussions in an air-conditioned room; rather, party workers had visited every nook and corner of the state and got the view of the people before it was prepared.

He went on to say that the vision of the BJP is to provide justice to all and appeasement to no one. The BJP government in Karnataka abolished the 4 percent reservation for Muslims before the election, called it ‘unconstitutional’ and divided it between Lingayats and Vokkaligas, the two influential caste groups in the state.

The Opposition started protesting against the BJP, and all the leading Opposition parties in the state assured to restore the reservation for Muslims if they unseat the BJP and come to power.

A tough battle is expected in the Karnataka assembly polls, and in this situation, the saffron party said that its promise covers all sections of society.

The party has made several other promises, such as monthly ration kits for households below the poverty line, including three gas cylinders in a year during the months of Yugadi, Ganesh Chaturthi, and and Deepavali.
