BJP manifesto is another set of jumla: Arvind Kejriwal
New Delhi, Apr 8 (IBNS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday described the Bharatiya Janata Party's manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls as another set of 'jumla' (false promise).
Kejriwal also targeted PM Narendra Modi on issues like job creation and note ban.
Kejriwal tweeted: "BJP unveils a fresh set of jumlas without telling the country what is the fate of its 2014 jumlas. Modi-Shah don't have the courage to speak on why demonetisation was done ? What happened to two crore jobs ? Why were farmers pushed towards destruction?."

BJP will explore all options to facilitate the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, the party said on Monday and sought to reach out to traders and farmers for the crucial 2019 general elections by promising that farmers' income will be doubled by 2022.

Chairman of the manifesto Rajnath Singh said farmers' income will be doubled by 2022.
On Ram Mandir, the BJP said it will explore all avenues for early construction of temple, Mr Singh said, but the party will explore all avenues.
'We have promised this earlier also that we will explore all avenues and we will ensure earlier construction of the temple at Ayodhya,' he said.
The BJP pledged National Vyapar Commission and a pension scheme for traders.

“India cannot experiment with adventurism of failed ideas… We will work with ideas that promise to make India one of the strongest countries of the world,” Jaitley said.
