A book of several pages is published 15 or 7 days before most political parties in India voting in view of the Lok Sabha or state assembly elections.
In that book or letter, along with the development of the country or the state, employment, solving the problem of employment, solving the problem of employment, eradicating poverty etc. are mentioned.
It also mentions the work to be done to solve the problems of the country or the state.
What are the issues included in the ruling party’s manifesto?
It also gave an outline of what development work would be done if he got the power to rule again. So that people are supposed to vote for their party.
What are the issues mentioned in the opposition party’s manifesto?
Moreover, if they come to power, the opposition manifesto talks about the development work they will do for the people.
Ruling declarations or opposition manifestos are called declarations. It can also be said to be an undertaking of a political party expressed in writing.
The Congress has this time referred to it as a letter of Nyay Patra and the BJP as Sankalp Patra.
How is the manifesto prepared?
What is the purpose of publishing Manifesto of political parties?
Through the manifesto, the voter gets to know which party will do what work in the coming days.
For example, the BJP has released a manifesto or manifesto with the aim of building a viksit bharat by 2047 by the present Modi government.
A declaration can also be called an agreement made for the people of a kind of political party.
Though political parties do not have an official agreement before the people. Yet the declaration can be called an agreement made for the public before the public.
Does the government do what is mentioned in the manifesto when voted to power?
The more you can create the beneficiaries, the more profitable it is for the government. Because in the name of benefiting the poor people, it creates beneficiaries only for the sake of vote bank. The deserving do not get government schemes.
In the name of the family of a political leader or a middle-class family, a bully is created on paper as poor.
Only 20 out of a hundred get government schemes. The panchayat member should also be paid Rs 500-1000.
In a way after coming to power the people also forget the government also forgets the promises mentioned in the manifesto. The government is not obliged to abide by everything mentioned in the manifesto.
What percentage of voters read the manifesto?
According to Newsclick.site and Assam365
The 100 have only a few heads in the manifesto. Some of them are party leaders and workers.
The 200 people have seen the first two pages of the manifesto only for interesting photos. 150 people look at the shelves of the certificate and it is not possible to see what is written inside.
200 do not understand what the manifesto is. 125 do not pay heed even if they say declarations. 175 do not feel the need for a declaration. The manifesto is handed over to only 39 people in book form.
Internet users
40 out of 1000 read the declaration through the internet. These include businessmen, some young voters and party workers. Which is for information required to make a comment to TV or media.
Only 5-10 read the opposition’s manifesto. Because the prosecution should criticise the opposition or the opposition to criticise the government.
Young voters who can calculate on their fingertips read the manifesto at some point as opposed to watching videos and various posts that give various entertainment on social media. Read the manifesto through various news stories.
5 reasons why the younger generation should not read the manifesto
1. Non-functioning according to the manifesto:
2. Tradition:
Every time elections come, political parties release declarations. Therefore it is considered to be a tradition of political parties to publish manifestos.
3. Lack of desire for politics:
Most young voters are not politically active. He also did not want to get into the political maze due to controversial comments by political leaders.
4. Hopelessness and financial Crisis:
Almost a large number of young voter families belong to middle class or economically backward families.
So due to price rise or financial constraints one has to engage in different jobs. Also the maintenance of the family stays away from politics for responsibility.
5. The system of giving or taking bribes:
On the day before the voting, there is an illegal process of distributing money in the car party organized by the political party for the sake of votes. So there is a perception that the party leader who will pay more money will be voted for. Although this idea is not acceptable.
5 reasons why voters have not read the manifesto
1. Speech:
Before the publication of the declaration, the political parties mention the war of words or speeches about the course of action of the coming days.
So it doesn’t feel the need to keep reading the same thing over and over again. Because it is predicted from the speech what will be mentioned in the manifesto.
2. Curiosity towards books:
Most voters do not wish to read the declaration even for the sake of books. Because books are not read, why should you read the declaration. This mentality develops.
3. Not interested in voting:
It is said that going to Lanka is Ravan. In the same way after electing people’s representatives, they turn their backs on the people. Do not keep the promises made during elections. Public representatives are not around in times of crisis.
4. Use of money power:
The price of votes runs in some areas on the eve of the eclipse. There have been complaints from time to time that the votes were purchased by giving Karwa Rs 500, Rs 10,000, Karwak scheme bait. Which is known as the last night’s game.
5. Manifesto for poor people is unnecessary:
In the steps taken by the government to eradicate poverty, people living in the grip of real poor poverty do not get government benefits. It is like a government scheme for middlemen brokers.
So what is mentioned in the manifesto or not does not feel the need for consideration for daily wage earners.
After the conclusion of the first phase of polling for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, there has been a lot of discussion about the manifesto again. Who has how much power in whose manifesto?
According to the BJP, there is more strength in Modi’s manifesto, according to the Congress, Pm Modi is scared to see the Congress manifesto. It is natural for political leaders to have such a war of words.
People are the king in a democracy. So people will vote considering who has how much power in their manifesto.
But let’s take a look at how much strength the BJP has in the manifesto or how much power the Congress manifesto has.
Strength of BJP manifesto:
2. 10 crore women have benefited from PM Ujjwala Yojana. 11 crore women under The Swachh Bharat Mission have the facility to make toilets free of cost. 3 crore women have availed maternity services under PM Matru Vandana Yojana.
3. 11 crore farmers of the country have benefited due to PM KISAN scheme. 4 crore farmers are protected by PM Fasal Bima Yojana.
What will the BJP do if voted back to power?
1.Build a corruption-free India, enforce UCC (Uniform Civil Code) on the basis of Article 44 of the Constitution, provide for One Nation, One Election system.
2. Establish 7 IITs, 16 IIITs, 7 IIM, 15 AIIMS, 315 Medical Colleges and 390 universities. Bullet Train will also be arranged for the first time in the country.
These were the highlights of the BJP manifesto. There is no mention of the main problem that can attract the general public.
At present, the skyrocketing prices in the country have shocked the common man. Such a tall declaration does not mention the prevention of price rise.
Manifesto of Congress 2024
Providing quality education and free education in government educational institutions to Class I – XII under Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009.
Minimum Support Prices (MSP) will be provided to farmers every year as per Swaminathan Commission rules.
Under the Press Council of India Act, 1978, self-regulation, protect journalistic freedoms, uphold editorial independence and guard against government interference will be provided by removing the country’s media from the control of the government.
The Congress manifesto does not mention that it can provide relief to the people. There is a mention of taking some steps to solve the problem of unemployment.
The main problem of the people is that both the political parties play a strong role in preventing price rise. Yet it seems that the caste census and the fact that women are being given Rs 8,500 per month has attracted voters.
Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on the manifesto:
He added, “I am not interested in any caste. My interest is only in justice. 90 per cent of the people in the country are currently being wronged.
I don’t like the word backward people. Our first task would be to put an end to the backward word. Adivasis, backward castes and tribes, Harijans also participated in the freedom struggle. But there is no mention.
90 percent of the people of the country understand that they have no place in educational institutions, justice system, economic system in the country. If our government comes we will first do the caste census work.
8,500 women from poor families will also be provided every month for the sake of empowerment of women. That is, Rs 1 lakh will be given to the woman in a year.
In parallel with this mention in the manifesto, the speech was seen responding to the Congress as the issue got a place.
Manifesto according to PM:
But the Modi government’s guarantee. Crores of women have benefited through various government schemes.
Voting for The Congress will put the Hindu family in trouble. Women have to lose the mangalsutra. The work that the BJP has done for development in 70 years of independence, the Congress has not been able to do the same work despite ruling for 50 years.
People will vote for the BJP in the interest of building Viksit Bharat by 2047. Abki Bar 400 Par will be done by the public. Kashmir will be given special category status.
Top 5 anti-people works of Modi govt
1. Failed to curb price rise:
2.Manipur violence:
The state of Manipur was on the boil due to ethnic group clashes. The Modi government did not take any major steps on the clash between the Kuki and Meitei tribes.
Prime Minister Modi was busy travelling abroad during the clashes in Manipur. Prime Minister Modi did not even call for maintaining peace and order.
Protests have started across the country even before the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 came home in Parliament.
Party organisations have protested against the government in most states of India that India will not accept the burden of foreigners for any reason. Especially in Assam, West Bengal, Delhi etc.
4. Insult to women athletes:
The protests by Olympic medallist wrestlers also evoked reactions across the country. Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Charan Singh has been accused of harassing women wrestlers.
Therefore, the players protested demanding the removal of BJP MP and Wrestler Federation president Brij bhushan sharan singh. But the Modi government did not take any action as expected.
5 Farmers’ protest:
Lakhs of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and other parts of the country staged protests on the streets of Delhi over the three anti-farmer laws. Police and paramilitary forces were deployed to suppress the protesting farmers.
Clashes broke out between the protesting farmers and the police. But bjp leaders only referred to whose protest was this by a section of Khalistani separatists.
In these five special incidents and manifestos that have taken place in the last 10 years, there is no mention of anything that can provide relief to the poor people.
But we will have to wait for the results. Who has how much power in the manifesto will be seen later.
