Free coronavirus vaccine for all, 19 lakh new jobs in five years are among the promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in its manifesto or 'Sankalp Patra' for the upcoming Bihar election 2020, which was released on Thursday. BJP's manifesto for the Bihar election 2020 was released by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, senior leaders Bhupender Yadav, Nityanand Rai, Ashwini Choubey, and Pramod Kumar in Patna.
The Congress and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) released their respective manifestos for the Bihar Assembly elections Wednesday. While the Congress manifesto focused on loan waivers for farmers and passing legislations to reject the farm laws passed by the Parliament, the LJP played its ‘Bihar first, Bihari first’ card by promising jobs to youth and increasing enterprises in the state.
