New Delhi: The ruling BJP will release its manifesto - Sankalp Patra - for the Lok Sabha polls on Sunday, with its planks of welfare and development besides a roadmap for 'Viksit Bharat' expected to figure prominently in its election agenda.
The saffron party said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its other senior leaders will attend the unveiling of the manifesto at the party headquarters here. Sunday is the birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar, a towering leader from the Dalit community and an architect of the Indian Constitution.
The BJP had appointed a 27-member manifesto committee headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh that met twice to deliberate on its contents after the party had launched multiple exercises, including vans sent across the country and social media campaigns, to seek people's suggestions.
As the BJP government has fulfilled most of its core ideological promises, including the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya and the repeal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, all eyes will be on how the ruling party's larger cultural and Hindutva agenda figures in the manifesto.
