In the manifesto, the BJP has promised measures to ensure the welfare of farmers, women, backward classes and traders, besides the youth, in the state.
Bhopal | Providing 10 lakh jobs per year to youths in Madhya Pradesh and welfare of all sections of society are among the major promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party in its manifesto for the November 28 assembly elections, which was released here Saturday.
The BJP, which has been ruling the state since 2003, is trying to retain power amid the opposition Congress’s allegations of a collapse of governance and its failure to work for agriculturists.
Madhya Pradesh last year witnessed wide-scale protests by farmers for better Minimum Support Price for their produce and other demands, forcing the government to announce a slew of measures.
The manifesto, called as “Drishti Patra” or vision document, was released by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at the state BJP headquarters here.
कृषक समृद्धि योजना हमने बनाई। लेकिन इस योजना से छोटे किसानों को लाभ नहीं मिल पाता, इसलिए छोटे किसान इस योजना के लाभ से वंचित ना रहें इसलिए हमने दृष्टि पत्र में तय किया कि किसानों केअनुपात के अनुसार उनके खाते में राशि डाली जाएगी। – मुख्यमंत्री श्री @ChouhanShivraj#BJPMPVision2023 pic.twitter.com/UVvs7cBUmI

“We will provide 10 lakh jobs and self-employment opportunities per year for the youth of the state,” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan told reporters.
Chouhan, accompanied by Union ministers Dharmendra Pradhan and Narendra Singh Tomar, promised to make a provision for free education for the poor.
“We have prepared a roadmap for the development of the state as well as the welfare of each section of the society,” he said.
मूल्य स्थिरीकारण कोश जो पहले 500 करोड़ रुपये से आरंभ हुआ था इसे बढ़ा कर 2000 करोड़ करने का निर्णय हमने लिया ताकि। बाजार मूल्य गिरने की दशा में किसानों को लाभकारी मूल्य उन्हें मिल सके। सिंचाई का रकबा 80 लाख तक बढ़ाने का लक्ष्य है। – CM श्री @ChouhanShivraj #BJPMPVision2023 pic.twitter.com/8W96hMFmxM

The Congress manifesto speaks of developing the ‘Ram path, a mythical route taken by Lord Ram during his 14-year exile, and the commercial production of ‘gaumutra’ (cow urine) and ‘kanda’ (cow dung cakes).
