AHMEDABAD: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Monday released BJP's election manifesto promising 50 lakh homes and 30 lakh jobs in the next five years.
Leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and state BJP leaders Purshottam Rupala and RC Faldu were among those who were present when the manifesto was released.
Rattled by the Congress campaign of 'Ghar nu Ghar', which promises 27 lakh homes to the urban poor, the BJP manifesto delivered a counter populist measure.
According to BJP manifesto, if BJP is re-elected, the Modi government will provide cheap housing to 50 lakh urban and rural families.
The BJP also used the new term 'neo-middle class' in the manifesto for whom the houses are promised.
"Promising is easy. There have been many parties who have promised homes but we will fulfill our promises", Modi said.
The Congress campaign in August had become immensely popular and newspapers had captured even BJP workers queuing up for forms which promised them houses ranging for between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 3 lakh for homeless families in the rural areas.
Also countering Congress's poll promise of health insurance to Gujaratis, the CM said each of the six crore Gujarati will be provided life insurance.
The BJP manifesto especially targeted youth and women amongst whom Modi is especially popular. "Thirty lakh youth will be given employment in the next five years. A youth-led skill development movement will be initiated through Skill Development University. CM Scholarship Yojana will be implemented", said the manifesto.
In a bid to placate the farmers, the BJP manifesto says that government will pay the interest component of the loans taken by farmers. Other poll promises include power and drinking water to reach every village, eligibility for government jobs to be raised to 30 years and stamp duty relaxation
