Union minister Arun Jaitley releases BJP’s ‘Vision Document’ in Patna
Patna: In a please-all vision document for Bihar, the BJP today announced scooties for girl students who score well, colour TVs for the dalits and mahadalits – the most underprivileged of the population – and cheaper education loans.
“Every girl child will go to school,” said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, releasing the party’s vision document in Patna. Mr Jaitley also slammed the Nitish-Kumar led ‘Grand Alliance’, saying it’s time to end the “jungle raj” in Bihar.
“We need to rescue Bihar from backwardness. Congress, Janata Dal (United) and RJD have ruled Bihar for 68 years but have not done much for it. Our vision document is a charter for development,” Mr Jaitley said.
In its vision document, the party promises Atal Medicine Centres, which would provide medicines at a discount, and plots for the landless.
“The vision document has a clear-cut plan to develop Bihar in the next five years if the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance wins the polls and forms the next government,” BJP leader Bhupender Yadav, who is in charge of party affairs in the state, said. The party’s main plank is “development in Bihar”, he added.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, in his vision document for the next five years, had outlined a seven-point agenda to develop Bihar. This includes free Wi-Fi in college and university campuses, a student credit card scheme for loans to pursue higher and professional education, and an unemployment allowance.
The document also promised electricity and toilets in every home, and piped water that would benefit 16 lakh families.
