 The BJP on Tuesday released its manifesto for the December 7 Rajasthan polls, saying it had met 95 per cent of the promises it had made in 2013. 

The manifesto was unveiled by Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Prakash Javadekar, and Rajathan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, in the presence of BJP leaders and workers here. 

The BJP government in the state met 630 of the 665 promises made in the 2013 Rajasthan manifesto, Raje said prior to releasing the manifesto.

"The overall completion is 95 per cent," she said.

Raje also highlighted several points of the 2018 manifesto, saying 50 lakh jobs will be created in private sector in next five years in Rajasthan and every year, 30,000 jobs will be given in the government sector. 

The chief minister also said up to Rs 5,000 per month will be given as unemployment allowance to eligible youths above the age of 21 years.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first election speech in Alwar on Sunday gives a peek into BJP's poll strategy for Rajasthan. PM Modi moved beyond caste and communities and propagated a society that did not differentiate on any grounds. The PM mentioned ideologies of Kabir, Raidas, Soordas, Valmiki, Ramanand and equated it to the BJP's ideology of inclusiveness. He moulded their couplets to project BJP's ideology of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'.

The Prime Minister quoted a couplet from Kabir, the largest influencer of Bhakti movement, that said all men were equal like water from a well and so should be the case in society. He spoke of the Sikh saints who believed all to be equal and cited eating food in a langar as an example.

Quoting a couplet of Saint Ramananda — founder of Ramanandi Sampradaya, the largest monastic Hindu renunciative community in modern times — Modi said, "Jo Hari Ko Bhaje Hari ka Hoy" (the one who pays obeisance to the Lord is close to the Lord) and adapted it as a projection of BJP's ideology of inclusiveness. Replacing Hari PM Modi said, "Jo garib ko bhaje garib ka hoy." He said farmers, poor, women, deprived, youth, public and the nation were all forms of the lord and BJP approached them as such.
