Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto for the Jharkhand Assembly elections, promising to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) while exempting tribals. Shah assured that the UCC would not affect tribal communities and criticized the Hemant Soren government, alleging that tribals and women are not safe under its regime. The BJP’s manifesto, ‘Sankalp Patra,’ outlines 25 key points, including welfare schemes for tribals and poor, and addressing issues like paper leaks in competitive exams.

The BJP has pledged to provide financial assistance to women, create jobs, and provide housing for all if voted to power. Other promises include subsidized LPG cylinders and filling vacant government posts. Elections for the 81-member Assembly will take place in two phases on November 13 and 20, with results announced on November 23.

Amit Shah’s announcement has sparked interest in the upcoming elections, with the BJP seeking to capitalize on concerns about corruption, law and order, and development in Jharkhand. The party’s commitments will likely influence voter decisions in the state.
