Delhi Assembly polls: Top 3 issues that may find place in BJP manifesto to be released on Friday

India TV News  

The Delhi BJP manifesto due to be released on Friday is likely to focus on three issues: residence for jhuggis, Yamuna riverfront and a pollution-free Delhi.

Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri, who has been closely involved with BJP's campaigning in Delhi, has already stated that the Central government will provide flats even to the tenants in slum clusters under the 'Jahan jhuggi wahan makaan' scheme. Yamuna riverfront Another key issue the BJP is likely to project in its manifesto is the promised Yamuna riverfront, something that is promised to take shape in accordance with the Sabarmati riverfront in Gujarat.
