With the aim of seizing power by replacing the 24-year reign of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has unveiled a plethora of pledges including filling up of 2.15 lakh government sector positions and payment of ₹3,100 per quintal of paddy, intended to resonate with a broader spectrum of society.
BJP president J. P. Nadda on Thursday released party’s manifesto targeting the State Assembly election this year.
“We will ensure recruitment to 1.5 lakh vacant government posts in a fair and transparent manner. Recruitment for 65,000 posts will be completed in two years. We will fill the vacancies for Other Backward Class (OBC) and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) on the priority basis,” the manifesto says.
