The Bhartiya Janata Party on Saturday released its manifesto for the Telangana assembly election. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while releasing the party’s manifesto, said the BJP will implement uniform civil code in Telangana, scrap 4 percent Muslims quota and free visit to the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Shah said a committee will be constituted to implement the reform in the state. He also promised scrapping 4 percent ‘illegal’ quota for Muslims in the state and increasing the quota for OBCs, Dalits and STs.
He also announced free visit to the Ram temple in Ayodhya for all the people of Telangana, if the saffron party was voted to power.
Shah reiterated his promise of making the Chief Minister from the Backward Class.
“PM Narendra Modi has decided that if BJP forms government here (Telangana), we will elect the Chief Minister from Backward Class. This election is PM Modi’s good governance against KCR’s negligence,” Shah said while addressing a rally in poll-bound Telangana.
He also promised free laptops for students, UPSC model for TSPSC students to ensure timely and transparent conduct of exams and 2.5 lakh vacancies to be filled every year.
The party also announced free laptops for college girl students, 4 gas cylinders free of cost annually to Ujjwala beneficiaries and loans for women self help groups at 1%.
The BJP has also promised building a museum and memorial in Hyderabad to document the struggle of the people of the state against the Nizams and Razakars.
The saffron party also said it would appoint a commission of enquiry headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to probe into all corruption allegations, including Kaleswaram and Dharani scams, and other financial irregularities committed by the incumbent BRS government.
The manifesto said the existing Dharani, an integrated land administration portal brought in by the BRS government, would be replaced with a foolproof “mee Bhoomi” system. Besides offering Rs 3,100 on paddy, the manifesto promised to provide Rs 2,500 as input assistance to small and marginal farmers to enable them to procure seeds and fertilizers.
