Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the Bharatiya Janata Party's election manifesto for the West Bengal assembly polls, promising ₹3,000 a month for women and unemployed people, new industries, and enforcement of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC).

The manifesto, titled 'Bharoshar Shapoth', focuses on women and youth, with promises including 33% reservation for women in state government jobs, free bus rides for women, and ₹50,000 for girls at the time of graduation admission.

Shah also vowed to provide 10 million new jobs and self-employment opportunities over the next five years, increase the monthly financial assistance for the unemployed from ₹1,500 to ₹3,000, and promote deep-sea fishing with subsidized boats for fishermen.

The BJP has promised an investment-friendly environment through a single-window clearance system, an industrial park in Singur, and four industrial zones across the state.
