Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday launched the BJP's election campaign by inviting suggestions from every community within one week to be included in the party's manifesto for the October 1 Assembly elections.
After attending a meeting at the BJP office in Panchkula with the manifesto committee led by former Cabinet minister Om Prakash Dhankar, Saini said that the suggestion boxes would be kept in the party’s offices in all 22 district headquarters.
Saini also flagged-off vans called ‘Sankalp Yatra Rath’ that will travel across the constituencies seeking suggestions from the voters for the manifesto. The "raths" will travel through various regions, gathering feedback that will help shape the party’s manifesto.
"They aim to gather feedback regarding the people's expectations from the BJP. In the past 10 years, our government has fulfilled what was promised in the earlier manifesto. Now the election has been announced. The van will go to the block level. It will be going to all the 22 districts. We are starting this from Panchkula. They will go to different districts and take suggestions from people. People should also suggest solutions to problems," he said.
Dhankar said that within one week, the public can submit their views. "The manifesto will incorporate views of every section of society." He also said that feedback compiled by 'Sankalp Yatra Rath' will be analysed in two weeks before drafting the manifesto.
