Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav launched the 'Parivartan Patra' manifesto ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and said that the party is committed to fulfilling the 24 promises outlined in the manifesto. The RJD leader claimed that the manifesto focuses on crucial developmental issues and the welfare of the people in Bihar.
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is likely to unveil its Lok Sabha Polls 2024 manifesto at 9 am on April 14. While party president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to be present at the party's headquarters in Delhi, PM Narendra Modi is also likely to be present at the event, reports say.
"The Constitution of the country is everything for the (BJP) government and even if Babasaheb Ambedkar himself comes, he cannot abolish the Constitution," PM Modi said while speaking at an election rally in Rajasthan’s Barmer.
The PM also alleged that Congress was “standing with anti-national forces” and accused the opposition INDIA bloc of “trying to weaken” the country.
