Overview

  • The NDA launched its joint ‘Sankalp Patra’ in Patna with JP Nadda, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha in attendance.
  • The document is widely reported to promise one crore jobs for youth, though at least one outlet cites a 20 lakh figure, reflecting discrepancies in coverage.
  • Key pledges span seven expressways, 3,600 km of rail modernisation, proposed international airports and metros, a medicity and medical colleges in every district, and free education from KG to PG for poor students.
  • Welfare commitments include a ‘Panchamrit’ package of free ration, 125 units of free electricity, free medical treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, 50 lakh pucca houses, MSP procurement at the panchayat level, and Rs 1 lakh crore for farm infrastructure, alongside schemes targeting women and EBCs.
  • The Mahagathbandhan’s earlier manifesto promises a law for one government job per family and Rs 2,500 a month to women, as Bihar votes on November 6 and 11 with results due November 14.
