MP Congress terms BJP Vision Document as ‘Drishti-vihin patra’

Sunday, 18 November 2018 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

The Congress here on Saturday termed the ruling BJP’s manifesto for Madhya Pradesh Assembly polls as ‘Drishti-vihin Patra’ (a visionless document). The BJP released its manifesto titled Rs Samradh Madhya Pradesh Drishti Patra’ for November 28 polls in the morning, promising Rs proportionate bonus’ to farmers and creation of ten lakh jobs every year, among other things.

“BJP’s ‘Drishti Patra’ (vision document) is not only ‘Drishti-vihin (vision-less) Patra’ but also a document full of Rs Drishti-dosh’ (defective vision). They are eyeing the resources of Madhya Pradesh,” Congress’ national spokesperson Pawan Khera alleged.

“Congress has promised a loan waiver of Rs 94,000 crore which will benefit 81 lakh farmers, but the BJP is silent on this issue. Congress also promised a bonus on crops and vegetables. BJP’s manifesto talks about Rs 7,000 bonus to 17 lakh marginal farmers,” he said.

The Congress has promised Rs 1,000 social security pension to farmers and Rs 51,000 for the marriage of their daughters, while the BJP has not shown any concern for them, he claimed.

By bringing out a separate manifesto for women, the BJP has shown its sense of guilt, as “over 46,000 daughters were raped under their rule,” the Congress leader said.

Reacting to the BJP manifesto in a series of tweets, state Congress chief Kamal Nath said there is nothing new in the document which only rehashes old unfulfilled promises.
