During a press conference in Kolkata, Amit Shah (Union Home Minister of India) released the Bharatiya Janata Party's election manifesto for the upcoming West Bengal assembly elections. Titled 'Bharoshar Shapoth' (pledge of faith), the 15-page document outlines several ambitious promises aimed at women and youth. Key highlights include a monthly financial assistance of ₹3,000 for women and unemployed individuals, and a commitment to generate 10 million new jobs over the next five years. Shah also reiterated the BJP's commitment to enforcing the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), stating that all citizens should be treated equally under the law. The manifesto proposes various initiatives for women's empowerment, including 33% reservation for women in government jobs, financial support for pregnant women, and free healthcare services. Additionally, the BJP plans to improve the business environment in West Bengal by establishing industrial parks and promoting the fishing industry. Opposition leaders criticized the manifesto, claiming the promises are unrealistic and aimed at misleading voters. Shah also addressed border security issues, promising to identify and deport infiltrators from Bangladesh if the BJP comes to power.
