With a focus on rural economy and labour, the SP has promised to provide two bags of DAP and five bags of urea free of cost to farmers with less than two acres of land, a corpus fund of ₹10,000 crore to ensure Create. Sugarcane farmers are paid their dues within 15 days and Rs 25 lakh each is provided to the families of farmers killed in protest against farmers. The SP also said that he would provide free electricity for irrigation as well as insurance and pension to the farmers.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav released his party’s manifesto here keeping in mind the cost of unemployed youth and urban living. He said that if his party comes to power, it will bring an Urban Employment Guarantee Act on the lines of MGNREGA to guarantee minimum employment and income to men and women till they get secure jobs or employment.
The SP also said that he will start Samajwadi canteens and kirana stores to provide subsidized ration to workers, laborers and homeless persons and will provide Samajwadi thali for Rs 10 in a big way to tackle hunger.
The 88-page SP manifesto also promised two free LPG cylinders per year for BPL families, one liter of petrol every month for two-wheeler riders and three liters of free petrol or six kg CNG for every auto rickshaw driver.
“Unbreakable promise. We have done what he promised,” Mr Yadav said in a later tweet, reiterating the resolution made in the manifesto.
social Security
The SP also promised measures to provide social security for widows, poor people and needy women by reinstating the Samajwadi Pension Scheme, under which Rs 18,000 was provided annually to the beneficiaries. The SP said that this would benefit one crore families of the state.
Mr Yadav also vowed to implement a zero-tolerance policy against “hate crimes” against women, minorities and Dalits. Laptops will be provided to the students who have passed class 12th while CCTV and drone facility will be started in all villages and towns of the state within a year.
Commenting on the BJP’s election manifesto released a few hours ago by the SP, Mr Yadav said the saffron party did not fulfill the promises made in its manifesto.
