Bhubaneswar: On a bright Sunday morning, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unveiled its manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in Odisha. With a focus on the progress of the state and the betterment of its people, the manifesto, titled 'Modi Ka Guarantee for Odisha 2024', was released by BJP president JP Nadda.
The manifesto promises to bring about significant changes in the state within a span of five years. It includes a promise of creating 3.5 lakh jobs, providing a cash voucher of Rs 50,000 for women, and returning the money lost by people who invested in chit fund companies. The party also plans to procure paddy at Rs 3,100 per quintal, which will be credited to the bank accounts of farmers within 48 hours.
Nadda announced the 'Samrudh Krushak Niti', which aims to benefit farmers by providing them with a stable income. Under this scheme, paddy will be procured at a fair price and the money will be directly credited to their bank accounts. The party also plans to launch the 'Subhadra Yojana', which will provide a cash voucher of Rs 50,000 to every woman, to be encashed over a period of two years.
The BJP has set a goal to create 25 lakh 'Lakhpati Didis' (women millionaires) in Odisha by 2027. To achieve this, they plan to create industrial clusters for self-help groups, providing them with opportunities for product marketing and promotion. The party also aims to build 'Odia Samudaya Bhawan' in all metro cities to cater to the welfare of Odia people living outside the state.
The manifesto also includes various initiatives for the welfare of different sections of society. The party promises an annual allowance of Rs 10,000 for fishermen during the lean period, construction of 75,000 km of roads, scholarships for tribal students, and monthly pension for senior citizens, physically disabled persons, widows, and destitute individuals. The BJP also plans to fill 3.5 lakh job vacancies within two years and return the money lost by people who invested in chit fund companies within 18 months.
The party also aims to improve the healthcare infrastructure in the state. It plans to expand the capacity of government hospitals by 36,000 beds, modernizing ICUs, dialysis units, and operation theaters. Additionally, nursing colleges, medical colleges, and super specialty hospitals will be established in every district. The manifesto also promises to provide courses in medical, engineering, and law in the Odia language.
Nadda also addressed the issue of the Jagannath Temple in Puri, alleging mismanagement by the current government. The BJP plans to expedite the investigation of the missing key of the temple's Ratna Bhandar and make its inventory public. The party also promises to fairly compensate and re-establish all the mutts evicted during the redevelopment project, and open all four gates of the temple for devotees.
Nadda expressed concern over the increasing violence against women in the state and accused the Naveen Patnaik government of mismanagement. He alleged that many BJD leaders are involved in atrocities such as rape and murder. In addition to these promises, the BJP also plans to implement the Ayushman Bharat scheme within 100 days of coming into power.
The manifesto, with its various promises and initiatives, aims to bring about positive changes in the state of Odisha and uplift the lives of its people. With a transparent and efficient approach, the BJP hopes to earn the trust and support of the people in the upcoming elections.
