BJP releases poll manifesto

BJP has released its manifest for the Lok Sabha elections 2014. The party reiterates its stand to explore all possibilities within framework of Constitution to facilitate construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. However, it earned criticism from rivals as it came on the opening day of the 9-phased Lok Sabha elections on April 7. BJP has included contentious issues like construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya, abrogation of Art 370 giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir and enactment of Uniform Civil Code in the 52-page manifesto. It was released among others by its PM candidate Narendra Modi at the party headquarters in New Delhi. Ten prominent points of the manifesto are being given ahead.
