Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) 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 largely on women and youth, with promises to empower 7.5 million women under the Centre's Lakhpati Didi scheme, provide 33% reservation for women in all state government jobs, and give free HPV vaccination to all girls and women below 40.
Shah also promised 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 reopen all cases of atrocities against women.
The BJP also promised an investment-friendly business environment through a single-window clearance system, an industrial park in Singur, and four industrial zones across the state.
Shah said that infiltrators from Bangladesh will be identified and deported within days of the BJP coming to power, and that the party will implement the 'Detect, Delete and Deport' model to stop infiltration and cattle smuggling across the border.
