SHIMLA, Nov 6:
BJP president J P Nadda on Sunday promised Uniform Civil Code (UCC), 33 per cent reservation for women in Government jobs and educational institutions, and sops for different segments as he released the party’s manifesto for the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls.
A mix of Hindutva, development and welfare promises underpinned the ‘sankalp patra’, with Nadda also releasing a separate manifesto for women, a voting segment where measures like free grains, cooking gas connections and toilets have drawn favourable response for the BJP in different polls.
With less than a week left for assembly polls in his home state on November 12, Nadda promised creation of 8 lakh jobs, including Government, cycles for girl students in classes six to 12th and scooters for girls pursuing higher education and five new medical colleges if his party retained power.
A new BJP Government will also order a survey of Waqf properties to prevent their “illegal” use, he said.
Releasing the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’, Nadda promised implementation of UCC in Himachal Pradesh if the party is voted to power and said a committee will be formed for it. (PTI)
