Shimla: BJP president J.P. Nadda on Sunday promised a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and 33% reservation for women in government jobs in Himachal Pradesh while releasing the party’s manifesto for the state assembly polls.
With less than a week left for assembly polls in his home state, Nadda announced various soaps, including 8 lakh jobs, scooters for girls pursuing higher education and five new medical colleges.
Releasing the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’, Nadda promised implementation of UCC in Himachal Pradesh if the party is voted to power and said a committee will be formed for it.
At the same time, he said the BJP government will also conduct a survey of Waqf properties in the state to check illegal use, if any.
Focussing on women voters, Nadda released the party’s separate manifesto for them announcing 33% reservation in government jobs. He also announced cycles for girl students in classes 6 to 12.
Replying to a question, Nadda criticised the Congress manifesto – released on Saturday – saying it lacks both vision and weight.
