The committee held its first meeting on Monday last for drafting the manifesto. Eight Union ministers and three chief ministers were among the BJP leaders who had attended the meeting presided over by Singh.
With Modi constantly highlighting his government’s priority for the poor, youth, women and farmers, the ruling BJP is likely to give prominence to the issues related to them.
The BJP had on March 30 announced the constitution of a 27-member committee under Defence Minister and former BJP president Singh for preparation of its manifesto. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is the committee’s convener.
The Lok Sabha elections are scheduled to be held in seven phases between April 19 and June 1. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
