NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday released the party manifesto for Haryana Assembly elections scheduled to be held in a single phase on October 5. The "Sankalp Patra" promises minimum support price (MSP) on 24 crops along with financial aid of Rs 2,100 to all women in the state.
The manifesto also promises guaranteed government jobs to two lakh youths 'without any slip and without any expense.'
"We are serving Haryana non-stop and you have to shoulder a huge responsibility in doing this non-stop.
We have done what we said, we have also done what we did not say, and we will also do what we say," said BJP chief JP Nadda addressing the event.
Attacking Congress over its agricultural policies, Nadda said, "When the Congress was in power, crop compensation of Rs 1,158 crore was given to the farmers, whereas during the BJP government, crop compensation of Rs 12,500 crore was given to the farmers.
