It reflects the aspirations of the youth of Young India
The Prime Minister highlighted in BJP’s Sankalp Patra that it reflects the aspirations of the youth of Young India. Over the past decade, the BJP government has lifted 250 million people out of poverty, demonstrating its commitment to delivering results. However, the work does not stop there; those who have been lifted out of poverty also need sustained support to ensure that they do not slip back into poverty due to unforeseen circumstances. Shri Narendra Modi said just as a person may have received treatment in a hospital but still advised by doctors to take precautions despite being on the road to recovery, similarly, those who have emerged from poverty also require support to prevent them from slipping back into poverty for any reason. With this vision in mind, BJP has pledged to expand several poverty alleviation schemes. Modi’s guarantees that the free ration scheme will continue for the next five years. The BJP government will ensure that the food plate of the poor is nutritious, satisfying, and affordable.
Under Ayushman Bharat, free treatment will be provided
Shri Modi underscored his assurance that Jan Aushadhi Kendras will continue to offer affordable medicines with an 80% discount, and the expansion of these centers will be undertaken. Modi’s guarantees that under Ayushman Bharat, free treatment up to 5 lakhs will be provided. In line with this, the BJP has made a significant decision. Concerns about healthcare expenses for the elderly are addressed, as BJP has pledged to include every senior citizen above 70 years in the ambit of the Ayushman Yojana, regardless of their economic status, providing free treatment up to 5 lakh rupees. The BJP government has constructed 4 crore pucca houses for the poor, and based on additional information from the states, they have pledged to build 3 crore more pucca houses, considering the expansion of families.
Free electricity
The Prime Minister emphasized that the BJP government has already ensured the delivery of affordable cylinders to every household, and now they will work on providing cheap kitchen gas through pipelines to every home. The BJP government has provided free electricity connections, and now they will work on reducing electricity bills to zero for crores of households and creating

opportunities for earning from electricity. The PM Surya Ghar scheme for free electricity has been implemented, with 1 crore people already registered. BJP is committed to accelerating work on this scheme, ensuring not only electricity in homes but also additional income through selling surplus electricity. Furthermore, concerning the expenses for petrol and diesel for scooters and cars, if one opts for electric vehicles, the arrangement for free charging will also be made available.
Shri Modi highlighted the transformative impact of the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, noting that it has empowered crores to become entrepreneurs over the years. PM Shri Modi underscored that the scheme has not only created crores of jobs but also turned hundreds of thousands into job creators. PM Shri Modi announced that in recognition of the scheme’s success, the BJP has decided to raise the loan limit under the Mudra Scheme from 10 lakh to 20 lakh. This move aims to cater to the requirements of Industry 4.0 and provide a fresh impetus to the youth. The scheme will offer increased funds and resources to the youth in both urban and rural areas to pursue their chosen endeavors. Pradhan Mantri Swanidhi Yojana marks the first instance post-independence where it safeguards the dignity of street vendors, liberating them from the burden of interest. Today, individuals receive bank loans without providing any collateral. The loan limit for this scheme will be raised from 50 thousand and will also encompass rural areas. Modi honors those who have been overlooked by others. This embodies the spirit of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” and reflects the essence of the BJP’s Sankalp Patra.
Further empowering women
The Prime Minister emphasized that special priority will be accorded to differently-abled individuals under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana’ prioritizing their different needs. The BJP has conferred identity and dignity upon transgender individuals, and they will now be included in the Ayushman Bharat scheme to avail its benefits. India is setting an example for the world by prioritizing women-centric development. The past decade has been dedicated to upholding women’s dignity and creating new opportunities for them, and the next five years will focus on further empowering women. In the past decade, 10 crore women have joined self-help groups, and the BJP will now provide training to these groups for various services such as IT, education, health, retail and tourism. Currently, 1 crore women have become ‘Lakhpati Didis,’ and the BJP aims to elevate 3 crore more women to this status, ensuring their financial prosperity. This is Modi’s guarantee. Under the Namo Drone Didi Scheme, women will be trained as drone pilots in every village. This initiative has not only enhanced the dignity and income of rural women but has also brought about a significant revolution in farming practices. Additionally, special provisions will be made to support women athletes and promote their participation in sports. Furthermore, in line with its commitment to improving women’s health, the BJP will launch a campaign to eradicate cervical cancer.
Shri Modi emphasized that the Bharatiya Janata Party takes a comprehensive approach to the rural economy, empowering people across various sectors including agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries. As part of this effort, BJP has extended the benefits of the Kisan Credit Card to cattle rearers and fishermen, ensuring their inclusion in the financial support system.

The BJP will foster research on tribal heritage, establish a Digital Tribal Arts Academy, promote startups and self-help groups based on forest produce, and ensure the construction of over 700 Eklavya schools. BJP believes in the mantra of “Vikas bhi, Virasat bhi”.

BJP aims to connect tourists globally with the country’s heritage and elevate national sites like Nalanda to World Heritage status. It will prioritize the holistic development of tourist destinations based on tourism destination ranking and establish new ecotourism centers.
Fortifying 21st-century India

Shri Modi said that the BJP government is committed to establish new satellite towns across the country, envisioning them as focal points for national development. Special emphasis is being placed on expanding the aviation sector, exemplified by recent agreements for over 1000 aircraft, which will not only bolster connectivity but also create numerous job opportunities. These sectors are poised to become dream centers for the youth residing in small towns across the nation. BJP aims to extend the Vande Bharat train network to every corner of the nation, introducing three models: Vande Bharat Sleeper, Vande Bharat Chair Car, and Vande Bharat Metro. The construction of the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train is progressing, nearing completion. The party has pledged to operate a bullet train in all four directions of India, marking a significant step towards self-reliance. BJP is committed to enhancing India’s self-reliance across various sectors, encompassing defence, edible oil and energy imports.
