Chennai, February 9 The BJP's election manifesto for the upcoming Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu will focus on people-centric issues and a plan for a safe and development-oriented state, a senior BJP leader said on Monday.
The 13-member committee, led by former Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan, is currently consulting with stakeholders and engaging with all sections of the public, including small traders and industrialists, and considering various welfare measures aimed at improving people's quality of life.
"Our vision document (manifesto) will include key promises related to agriculture and rural welfare, temple reforms, governance, education, and youth, among other issues. Currently, we are in the process of consulting all sections of the public, and the final document will be ready soon," the leader told PTI.
In the lead-up to the 2021 Assembly elections, the saffron party had released a document titled "Thamaraiyin Tholainokku" (Lotus Vision). This time, the party launched a state-wide campaign named "Makkalukkaga Makkalidamirundhu" (for the people, from the people) to gather opinions from the public.
The party had even launched a special vehicle equipped with suggestion boxes to tour the constituencies and collect feedback from citizens.
Earlier in the day, Soundararajan chaired the election manifesto committee meeting at Kamalalayam, the party's state headquarters, and discussed key inputs and people-centric ideas for the upcoming election.
The committee had previously visited weavers and interacted with them on strengthening the handloom small-scale industries sector.
