BJP national spokesperson calls NYAY scheme a flop

BJP national spokesperson has termed the minimum income scheme offered by the Congress as a flop and stated that BJP manifesto would be inclusive without any false promises.

New Delhi:Days after the Congress party released its manifesto for the ensuing Lok Sabha polls, Bharatiya Janta Party national spokesperson dubbed the minimum income scheme as a flop one.

Speaking to ETV Bharat, Syed Zafar Islam, BJP national spokesperson said that Congress failed to remove poverty, ensure supply of electricity and build roads when it was in power.

"We are providing more than the so-called NYAY scheme. They are saying that they will provide more than we are providing, but they have not clarified as to where is it that they are going to get the money from," he said.

Although Islam refrained from revealing much about the manifesto, Islam added, “Our manifesto will most likely cover issues pertaining to farmers, middle-class population, women, and youth, among other things.”

BJP is all set to release its manifesto, dubbed as 'Sankalp Patra' on April 8.

Speaking on the poll manifesto, Syed Zafar Islam said, “BJP manifesto will be an inclusive one.”

The manifesto is said to be released in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, along with other party leaders. BJP claims to have conducted a three-month-long exercise to come up with their manifesto.

Earlier on January 6, BJP had constituted a 20-member manifesto committee led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, who later constituted 15 sub-committees to work on the poll manifesto.
