Implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and National Register of Citizens (NRC), three free cooking gas cylinders for BPL families and a State Capital Region tag for Bengaluru are among the top promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in its manifesto– or the ‘Praja Pranalike’– for the upcoming Assembly polls in Karnataka.
Following the controversy over Amul’s entry into the Bengaluru market, the saffron party also promised half a litre of free Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Limited’s Nandini milk to each BPL family every day.
BJP Chief JP Nadda released the manifesto here in the presence of former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, Union Minister for Mine, Coal and Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi, Karnataka BJP President Nalinkumar Kateel and others.
Releasing the document, Nadda said the BJP’s vision for the state is “justice to all, appeasement to none”.
