BJP has finally released its manifesto for General Elections 2019, and they are calling it “Sankalp Patra”. Now to know what effect it will have on the elections, we need to know what all there is in it.

In its manifesto, BJP has promised to implement the Uniform Civil Code, stop trespassers from crossing Indian borders, pass the citizenship amendment bill, and of course, try for the construction of Ram Mandir.
 
In addition, the promises include abolishing of Article 35A from Kashmir, providing pension to all the farmers, providing pension to all the shopkeepers who are senior citizens, a pucca house to everyone, opening of 1.5 lakh Ayushmaan Bharat centers.
 
All I want to remind the public is the set of promises that were made by BJP in 2014. We know what happened of those promises. Talking about all the political parties and their manifestos, if they could but fulfill the promise they make, 75% of the development of the country would already have been done.
 
Except for the pension for shopkeepers, there is nothing new in BJP’s manifesto. It doesn’t offer any convincing promise which can stand against Congress’s judicial scheme in Congress's manifesto for General Elections 2019. Also, the Ram Mandir issue still remains intact in the “Sankalp Patra”. The only difference is that the word “commitment” has beeCongress's manifesto for General Elections 2019. Also, the Ram Mandir issue still remains intact in the “Sankalp Patra”. The only difference is that the word “commitment” has been changed by the word “effort”. This shows that BJP is not as adamant on the issue of Ram Mandir as before.
 
On the issue of Article 35A, we wonder why it has not been abolished till now. The whole Northeastern part of India is ruled by BJP, and it is the ally of the parties who oppose the citizenship amendment bill. So how can we say that it will pass this bill after coming to power?
 
So analyzing the “Resolution Letter” all in all, we can say that BJP has not made any “effort” to promise any significant change in the country’s politics if it comes to power again.

BJP released it's election manifesto just three days before the general elections which it call a Sankalp Patra. A Sankalp Patra if you go by the meaning, it is a document of commitments. BJP said that it will fulfill all its commitments by 2022 ie when India will celebrate 75 years of Independence.

Let's us examine what is there in the BJP manifesto. The party puts a greater effort on Nationalism. As modi himself said Nation comes first and those who will go against the nation will not be spared. Thus National security is the biggest point in the party's manifesto.

The party has been criticised for not giving due importance to the needs and wants of the farmers. And thus in its manifesto party said it will cover all the farmers under PM Kisan yojna, where every farmer would get ₹2000 every month. Presently only the poor farmers are getting benefit under the scheme.

The promise to build Ram Mandir, due to which BJP came into power in 2014 elections find its place in 2019 manifesto also. The party also promises to look into the interest of various interest holders over citizenship bill, triple talak, and other topics.


The party also promised to implement uniform civil code by scrapping section 35 A and sec 370 in the Indian constitution. It also mentioned to conduct assembly and general elections at one time. It also said to send an Indian into space by 2022.

Rest all the things and promises are of 2014 manifesto stating that the party is not able to stand on its 2014 manifesto. I don't know how but the BjPs manifesto will not substantially affect the elections because there is nothing new in the manifesto which the party would do over the 5yr time period. There is a mention about the commitee set up for water. But there are already many bodies and policies designed over the last 5 years but still has not been implemented. Be it Clean Ganga Plan, or reviving Yamuna or anyother.

The party has failed over it's last manifesto and people do not have high hopes from the party this time. So, it's better we wait till the results are announced and see how things go.
