BJP promises sops for everyone in UP
Sanjay Pandey LUCKNOW: Jan 29, 2017, DHNS
Nurturing dreams of capturing the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh in the coming Assembly polls, the BJP on Saturday promised sops for every section of society in its election manifesto, but targeted the farmers, labourers and women. The manifesto released here by BJP president Amit Shah promised to waive crop loans of small and marginal farmers, besides providing them loans at a lower rate of interest.
Apparently keeping in mind the anger of sugar cane farmers in western and central regions, Shah said his party would ensure clearance of the arrears due to them from sugar mills within a fortnight of assuming power. The manifesto also promised 100% paddy purchase by the government and power to farmers at cheaper rates.
Shah said a BJP government in the state would provide free LPG cylinders to the poor, free education to girls up to graduation and laptops with free 1 GB data to youths. “There will be free WiFi in school and college campuses”, he said. Claiming that the law and order situation had turned from bad to worse during the successive Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party regimes, Shah said that for effective policing, the BJP, if voted to power, would recruit 1.5 lakh police constables from “every section of society”.
He also promised to shut down illegal slaughter houses in the state and prevent exodus of people from their villages due to communal tension. “It is a fact that people have left their villages in large numbers owing to communal tension”, Shah added. Keeping in view the demands for separate Bundelkhand and Poorvanchal, Shah said his party, if it came to power, would set up Poorvanchal Vikas Board and Bundelkhand Vikas Board to ensure development of the two backward regions. Shah also said his party would seek the opinion of Muslim women on triple ‘talaq’. The BJP president promised to set up six super speciality hospitals on the lines of AIIMS in different parts of the state.
