J&K Elections: Article 370 Reflections, Peace, and Reservations – What's in BJP's Manifesto?
Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the BJP's manifesto for the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, emphasizing that Article 370 is now history and will never return. He criticized the National Conference's manifesto for silently supporting Article 370 and questioned Congress's stance on it. Shah highlighted that Article 370 led the youth towards terrorism instead of development and assured that the reservation rights of the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities would be protected. The BJP's manifesto focuses on eradicating terrorism and separatism, promoting development, and providing benefits such as financial support for women, free LPG cylinders, job opportunities, and educational assistance. Shah also promised measures to support small businesses, allocate land to the landless, and provide affordable healthcare. Additionally, he targeted Rahul Gandhi, questioning his silence on the National Conference's manifesto and demanding a clear response.
