The battle of the manifestos: BJP vs Congress

There are marked differences between BJP and the Congress when it comes to making promises to the electorate

While there is still some time remaining to influence the electorate and win their hearts, the two leading political parties have done their bit to put their promises on paper before the first EVM lights up on April 11. The manifestos of both BJP and the Congress are detailed and exhaustive. While the BJP's stress is visibly strong on issues such as national and internal security, the Congress has been very particular about some of its promises, backing them with numbers and data. But as the political rhetoric builds and the electoral tempo rises, burning issues which the populace faces on a day-to-day basis tend to go under the carpet. To keep these very issues at the forefront, Business Standard brings to you a comparable interactive of the promise cards of BJP and Congress.
