Hon’ble National President of Bharatiya Janata Party Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda released the party’s manifesto for the upcoming assembly elections at the state media center in Rohtak, Haryana on Thursday. Shri Nadda highlighted the development work done by the Modi government in Haryana over the past 10 years. During the event, Haryana CM Shri Nayab Singh Saini, State BJP President Shri Mohan Lal Badoli, former Haryana CM and Union Minister Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Union Ministers Shri Rao Inderjit Singh and Shri Krishan Pal Gurjar among other leaders were present.
Shri Nadda stated that the Congress has diminished the significance of the manifesto in the eyes of the people. For them, the manifesto is merely a formality and a tool for deceiving the public. 10 years ago, Haryana was characterized by a culture where jobs were secured through bribery and influence by ‘Parchi aur Kharchi’. The employment scam embroiled many leaders from the ruling party, some of whom faced legal punishment. Haryana was also notorious for land scams at the time, where farmers’ lands were forcibly acquired at minimal prices and resold at massive profits. The real manifesto of Congress was embodied in these land scams, where farmers were exploited and the government, at that time, was synonymous with corruption.
BJP National President stated that the party is dedicated to the vision of ‘Nonstop Haryana,’ with both the leadership and workers committed to ensuring that this momentum continues. He highlighted the seriousness of their Sankalp Patra by emphasizing, “We have fulfilled every promise we made in the Sankalp Patra, fulfilled even those we didn’t promise and will deliver on every future promise as well.”
BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted the significant changes Haryana has undergone in recent years. In 2014, the state’s per capita income was ₹1.37 lakh, which has now almost doubled to ₹3 lakh. In terms of exports, Haryana’s figures have soared from ₹6,000 crore to over ₹2.5 lakh crore. The number of medical colleges has increased from 7 to 15, and medical seats have risen from 700 to more than 2,185, nearly tripling. Additionally, while only 538 villages had 24-hour electricity before 2014, today, 5,800 villages enjoy a 24-hour electricity supply.
Shri Nadda emphasized that farmers have a significant role in Haryana. Whereas Congress leaders engage in politics under the guise of caring for farmers, merely shedding crocodile tears. Under the Congress government, crop compensation in Haryana was ₹1,158 crores, whereas during the Bharatiya Janata Party’s administration, it soared to ₹12,500 crores—an increase of ten times. The crop damage compensation was previously ₹6,000 per acre, which has been increased two and a half times to ₹15,000 per acre during the BJP government. The old age pension has been tripled, it used to be ₹1,000 and is now ₹3,000. MSP was previously available for only 8 crops, while the Congress party didn’t provide MSP for more than 8 crops over the years. The BJP government has ensured MSP for 24 crops. The BJP has delivered on its promises and exceeded expectations.
BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted that the BJP has fully implemented the manifestos from 2014 and 2019 before presenting itself to the people of Haryana. The BJP initiated a culture of accountability through report cards. Ten years ago, did any leader ever present their data or report card to the public? Today, however, the BJP is putting its report card before the people of Haryana. Under the ‘Har Khet Ko Pani’ scheme, every field has been fully irrigated. This represents the transformation of Haryana. The BJP has worked to change the image and fate of farmers. Additionally, interest-free agricultural loans will be provided to 300,000 farmers. Additionally, a plate of food will be provided for farmers in the mandis at a cost of ₹10.
Shri Nadda emphasized that significant infrastructure developments have taken place. The Delhi-Sonipat Regional Rapid Transport System has been launched and India’s first elevated railway line has been constructed in Rohtak. An airport has been built in Hisar, with air services to Delhi, Jaipur, Jammu and Dehradun now operational. Additionally, over 1,000 sports nurseries have been established and the Haryana Startup Mission has also been initiated.
BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted that several initiatives have been implemented for the developmental welfare of women. The annual income limit for the Vivah Shagun Yojana has been increased to ₹1.8 lakh to enable more women to benefit from the scheme. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has quadrupled tax devolution for Haryana, providing ₹76,000 crores. Grant-in-aid has also been raised to ₹70,000 crores, a 3.5 times increase. Additionally, under the smart city projects, ₹15,000 crores have been allocated to Faridabad and Karnal. The Haryana government has made arrangements to ensure that every household receives a water supply under the Jal Jeevan Mission, fulfilling its commitments.
Shri Nadda stated that the development of infrastructure in Haryana is visible. Today, the foundation stone for IIT Delhi has been laid and an extended building program for the AIIMS cancer center has been initiated in Jhajjar. A yoga and naturopathy center has also been opened in Jhajjar. Additionally, work has started on AIIMS Rewari and the metro project in Gurgaon has commenced with an investment of ₹5,450 crores. Under the HIRA (Highways, Internet, Railways, Airports) initiative Haryana has seen significant development. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, Delhi-Katra Expressway, Ambala-Kotputli Corridor and Amritsar-Bhatinda-Jamnagar Expressway all pass through Haryana, contributing greatly to transformative development in the state.
BJP National President Shri Nadda highlighted that India’s railways have been fully electrified and the railway budget has been increased nine times than before. The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor has been initiated from Rewari and over 6,000 villages have been connected with optical fiber. Hisar Airport has also been operationalized. The Sankalp Patra is a commitment from the party that will be fulfilled when they form the government again. In line with this, the party has decided to provide financial assistance of ₹2,100 per month under the Lado Laxmi Yojana. On the lines of IMT Kharkhoda, the Haryana government plans to establish 10 most-modern industrial cities, providing employment opportunities to over 50,000 youths from nearby villages. The Chirayu Ayushman scheme’s coverage will be increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹10 lakh annually, with an additional ₹5 lakh provision for people over 70 years old. The MSP for 24 crops will be maintained and 2 lakh youths will be offered government jobs transparently, without any cost. Furthermore, 5 lakh youth will be given alternative employment opportunities and 5 lakh houses will be constructed for people belonging to BPL in both urban and rural areas.
Shri Nadda mentioned that government hospitals will offer free dialysis and both government and private hospitals will provide free health checkups. Olympic nurseries will be developed in each district. Under the Har Ghar Grihini Yojana, BPL families will continue to receive LPG cylinders for ₹500, while college girl students will be given scooters under the Awwal Balika Yojana. The BJP will also guarantee jobs to youths recruited under the Agniveer scheme in Haryana. Lastly, the construction of the Orbital Rail Corridor along the KMP expressway will be completed.
BJP National President Shri Nadda announced that Vande Bharat trains will be started from Palwal, Jhajjar, Bahadurgarh and Kharkhoda to Chandigarh and Mathura. Under the Rapid Rail Transport System, rapid rail services will start from Delhi to Palwal, Dharuhera, Rohtak and Panipat with Central government assistance. Intercity Metro services will also be extended from Bata Chowk to Sector 56, Gurugram. A separate welfare board will be established for 36 backward communities, offering them financial assistance. The social monthly pension will be increased based on a scientific DA-pension formula. OBC, SC and ST students will receive full scholarships to pursue medical and engineering degrees. Additionally, the Haryana government will provide a ₹25 lakh interest-free loan for entrepreneurs from backward communities to promote their business ventures.
BJP National President Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda emphasized that Haryana will be developed as a Global Education Hub, integrating artificial intelligence into the education model to ensure advanced learning. He also announced the creation of an international safari over 10,000 acres of Aravali jungles in South Haryana to boost tourism. BJP has presented 20 key Sankalps to the public and will continue to advance the state’s progress under the motto of ‘Nonstop Haryana.‘ Shri Nadda urged the public to support the BJP to ensure the government’s continued commitment to development in the state.
