Speaking on the occasion, BJP National General Secretary and Chhattisgarh In-charge Dr Anil Kumar Jain said the suggestions of journalists and other intellectuals would be valuable for the party.
Apart from other citizens, the journalists too could suggest important suggestions as they know the actual mindset of the people because of being in the field. Media is the fourth pillar of democracy and their suggestions are important for solidarity of democracy, Jain said.
The Convenor of BJP election Manifesto Committee Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, Brijmohan Agrawal said that the party had given the manifesto the name of ‘ Sankalpa’ as it has pledged to do more development work in coming five years after forming the government for the fourth consecutive time.
