BJP's Delhi Election Manifesto

The BJP's fortnight-long drive seeking people's inputs to prepare a manifesto for the Delhi polls had received 11.65 lakh suggestions over a range of issues including the amended citizenship law and the continuing protests against it. Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Prakash Javadekar, Harsh Vardhan and Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari were among the leaders who launched the party manifesto.

"When the union government was formed under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the biggest challenge in front of Delhi, were air pollution and water pollution. We had decided to rid Delhi of these twin evils," Union Minister Nitin Gadkari told reporters. He also spoke about 'Namami Gange' program and stated that 6,000 crores were spent on purifying the Yamuna.
