New Delhi: A Sabarmati River-front type redevelopment of the Yamuna and conversion of leasehold to freehold for properties given to partition refugees settled in the city were the highlights of BJP's Manifesto Part-3 released by Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday for Delhi Assembly election to be held on February 5.
"Trust the promises of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and we will end all miseries of Delhi through BJP's politics of performance," said Union Home Minister Shah while hitting out at the AAP for stooping low in its campaign and spreading lies.
HM Shah said a promise is cast in stone once Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it. He said PM Modi has promised that no welfare scheme will be stopped after the BJP's victory and urged voters to ignore lies being spread by the AAP.
Appealing to AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal to give up politics of lies and falsehood, HM Shah promised Delhi voters that the BJP has a track record of delivering its promises in all states and reiterated the promise of giving Rs 2,500 financial assistance to women, Rs 500 LPG cylinder, Rs 21,000 for pregnant women and a provision for five-month maternity leave.
"A corruption-free and transparent government will be provided by the BJP in Delhi," said HM Shah, offering 50,000 jobs to Delhi youths and promising to create 20 lakh self-employment opportunities.
"The very first Cabinet meeting will clear the proposal for Rs 10 lakh free insurance for all poor. PM Modi has offered an additional Rs 5 lakh insurance for the elderly," said Shah.
Accepting the long-standing demand of Pakistan refugee families, HM Shah said, "In the very first Cabinet meeting, we will give ownership rights to Pakistan refugees who currently hold leases for the properties and are not owners of their properties."
The BJP manifesto also promised welfare boards for domestic help, gig workers, textile workers, and life insurance of Rs 10 lakh, and an additional Rs 5 lakh accidental insurance to all of them. Similar insurance benefits were also offered to auto-rickshaw drivers. (IANS)
