The BJP manifesto has charted a blue print for nation. Titled ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’ the 42-page-long vision document vows to end corruption, rebuild economy, develop infrastructure, generate employment and make governance accessible to the masses.
The BJP manifesto has charted a blue print for nation. Titled ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’ the 42-page-long vision document vows to end corruption, rebuild economy, develop infrastructure, generate employment and make governance accessible to the masses.
Never before in the history of Parliamentary elections, had the nation seen such a manifesto.
The most striking salient feature of the BJP manifesto is the focus on Centre-State relations. The BJP wants to evolve a model where the national development will be driven by the development of States. To that effect, the BJP has promised to set up a Team India initiative which will include the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers as equal partners.
Second, the BJP manifesto promises to decentralise power for making governance accessible to the masses. The BJP has pledged to convert the representative democracy to a participatory one, where the people have a say in the governance system. The party has promised a governance model which is policy driven and people centric. A model which could offer ‘maximum Governance’ and ‘minimum Government’.
