Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel lashed out at the BJP over its manifesto saying that that the document was nothing but a bunch of lies to fool the voters ahead of the elections.“

New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday released its manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in the party headquarters in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the focus and vision of the party towards nation building outlined in the ‘sankalp patra’ is on “one vision, one direction”. Soon after the manifesto release, Congress party hit out at the ruling party calling their manifesto a “book of gimmicks.” Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel lashed out at the BJP over its manifesto saying that that the document was nothing but a bunch of lies to fool the voters ahead of the elections.“Enough is enough. The people of India have recognized you and your lies very well. Like our manifesto said - ‘Ab hoga nyay’,” said Patel. “The difference between BJP manifesto and Congress manifesto can be seen firstly from the cover page. Our’s has a crowd of people, and BJP manifesto has face of just one man. Instead of a manifesto BJP should have come out with a maafinama” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto "fresh set of jumlas" and said the duo -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah -- doesn't have the courage to speak on demonetisation. "BJP unveils a fresh set of jumlas without telling the country what is the fate of its 2014 jumlas. Modi-Shah don't have the courage to speak on why demonetisation was done? What happened to two crore jobs? Why were farmers pushed towards destruction?," Arvind Kejriwal tweeted. Union Minister Rajnath Singh, enlisting the highlights of the BJP manifesto, said that the Uniform Civil Code and Citizenship Amendment Bill will be passed in the next five years. He further added that the government will “try to build Ram Mandir soon.” “The BJP manifesto lists 75 promises for 2022, to mark 75 years of India’s independence,” said Amit Shah, releasing the manifesto.
