BJP manifesto is another set of jumla: Arvind Kejriwal

Kejriwal also targeted PM Narendra Modi on issues like job creation and note ban. 

Kejriwal tweeted: "BJP unveils a fresh set of jumlas without telling the country what is the fate of its 2014 jumlas. Modi-Shah don't have the courage to speak on why demonetisation was done ? What happened to two crore jobs ? Why were farmers pushed towards destruction?."

BJP will explore all options to facilitate the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the party said on Monday and sought to reach out to traders and farmers for the crucial 2019 general elections by promising that farmers' income will be doubled by 2022.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the BJP manifesto for 2019 general elections with the theme 'Nation first' and pledge to take the country to new heights ensuring national security and achieving a new milestone globally.

India was not is position to make experiment with adventurism of failed ideas, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Arun Jaitley said.

Chairman of the manifesto Rajnath Singh said farmers' income will be doubled by 2022.

On Ram Mandir, the BJP said it will explore all avenues for early construction of temple, Mr Singh said, but the party will explore all avenues.

'We have promised this earlier also that we will explore all avenues and we will ensure earlier construction of the temple at Ayodhya,' he said.

The BJP pledged National Vyapar Commission and a pension scheme for traders.

The Home Minister said the BJP will implement Citizenship Bill but preserve traditional identity of locals.

The BJP has announced Kisan Pension scheme after 60 years, Rajnath Singh said.

The Saffron party also pledged to end regional imbalance in its 2019 manifesto.

“India cannot experiment with adventurism of failed ideas… We will work with ideas that promise to make India one of the strongest countries of the world,” Jaitley said.

He said this manifesto is not prepared with “Tukde Tukde” mindest. It is not even prepared with an 'Ivy league' mindset. This has been prepared with a strong nationalist vision.

This is first five years where India was the fastest growing economy of the world, the Finance Minister added.

Jaitley said the new security doctrine will make India one of the powerful nations of the world where deterrent is the best defence.

“We want to go to the polls as a continuing government,” he maintained.
