Bengaluru, May 4: Reaching out to farmers, the BJP manifesto for the Karnataka Assembly polls today promised allocation of Rs 1.5 lakh crore for irrigation projects and waiver of farm loan up to Rs one lakh borrowed from nationalised and cooperative banks.
The manifesto, unveiled by BJP state unit president and the party's chief ministerial candidate, B S Yeddyurappa also said if voted to power, it would bring out a 'white paper' on the financial health of the state under the Congress rule.
A scheme to provide Rs 25,000 and three grams of gold for brides coming under the BPL category during the marriage and opening of "Annapoorna Canteens" has also been promised.
"Go Seva Ayog" aimed at cow protection would also be revived, the party said.
BJP MP and state leader Shobha Karandlaje said the manifesto was a "vision document" which reflected people's aspirations and expectations.
Over three lakh people as also experts had been consulted in preparing the manifesto, she said.
The manifesto was released after paying homage to party sitting MLA and its candidate for Jayanagar constituency B N Vijaykumar, who died of a massive heart attack at a hospital here today.
Polls for the 224-member assembly will be held on May 12.
Counting of votes will be taken up on May 15.
Bengaluru, Feb 14: After the swearing-in of ten former JDS and Congress MLAs, political boundaries seem to have become more fluid, with little clarity on who is on whose side. When Honnali BJP MLA Renukacharya visited senior Congressman DK Shivakumar at the latter’s residence, many eyebrows were raised over the reason behind the meeting. There was speculation over why Renukacharya would be meeting a man who is, in all likelihood, slated to be the next KPCC president.

Wow.. Feku created 2 crore jobs (jobless job) and deposited black money in account (his account and ambani;s account)

I am scared IT dept may search my home because feku given job, more money and now gold also..
We dont have any hope of getting 25k and 3grams of gold. All candidates are criminals... No need of those things..better to save girl children from them
Everything copy of Cong plans. Indira canteen they copied and named Annapoorna canteen
How these shameless people can act contradictory at the same time. Feku telling they are giving first preference to women safety and empowerment at the same time manifesto released with some shit cow protection commission
If you elect BJP candidates.. will serve free go mutra for drinking and bathing daily as per BJPs prestigious move "Go mutra ayog"
Feku uttered that women first for them. But even in the manifesto, they made some plan for cows. Go seva ayog. for women - go to hell ayog
Better to read LKG students complaint notebook. They will promise something and in reality, they will do opposite to that
No need of manifesto.We know what they will promise.
