‘Bangladeshi influx’ finds no mention in BJP’s Jharkhand poll manifesto | India News – Times of India

RANCHI: BJP on Saturday launched the first phase of its manifesto for upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections, calling it ‘Paanch Pran‘ (five promises/resolutions). The five promises covered women’s welfare, youths, jobs and housing. However, the “influx of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh”, a recurrent theme in the party’s campaign in the run-up to the polls and a weapon it has been using to target the JMM govt, found no mention.
BJP will launch two more portions of the manifesto in phases, according to party functionaries. This prompted Congress to take a dig, saying a party that could not even prepare a full manifesto was dreaming of forming a govt.
