Rohtak (Haryana): The Bhartiya Janata party on Thursday released the party's manifesto for the Haryana Assembly elections, just a day after the Congress party announced seven guarantees for the poll-bound state.

During the event, Union Minister JP Nadda highlighted key promises from the party's 'Sankalp Patra,' stating, "All women will be provided financial assistance of Rs 2,100 per month under the 'Lado Laxmi Yojna.' Under the Chirayu Ayushman scheme, the Rs 5 lakh you get per year will be increased to Rs 10 lakh. MSP on 24 crops will continue, and we will provide government jobs to 2 lakh youth."
He also assured that LPG cylinders would remain available for Rs 500 to Antyodaya BPL families and guaranteed government jobs for Agniveers.
Criticizing the Congress party, Nadda remarked, "For Congress, this document is just a formality. It is merely a ritual for them and an attempt to deceive the people."
He reflected on the state's past, saying, "What was the image of Haryana 10 years ago? It was one of getting jobs based on 'Kharchi' and 'Parchi,' known for land scams."
Nadda emphasized the importance of the BJP's manifesto, declaring, "For us, 'Sankalp Patra' is very important. We are serving Haryana non-stop."
Meanwhile, the Congress party Wednesday announced seven guarantees for Haryana assembly polls which will be part of its election manifesto, promising restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, two lakh jobs, caste survey, 300 units of free power and free medical treatment upto Rs 25 lakh.
Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will be held on October 5. Votes will be counted on October 8 along with that in Jammu and Kashmir.
