BJP Manifesto will be based on GYAN: Lok Sabha elections 2024 are going to start from 19th April. The first phase of voting is on this day. Before the elections begin, political parties are busy finalizing their manifestos. Caste votes are also being taken special care of in the manifesto. First Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav talked about PDA (Backward, Dalit and Minorities). Then PM Modi (PM Narendra Modi) described the poor, youth, farmers and women as the four castes of the country. Now BJP has adopted the GYAN formula in its manifesto, focusing on these four castes. The party has kept the theme of its manifesto as ‘Modi Ki Guarantee’ and ‘Developed India 2047’. The second meeting of the BJP manifesto committee will be held on 4 April. It is believed that the manifesto will be finalized in it.

Meaning of GYAN

The 4 letters of GYAN have different meanings. G means poor, Y means youth, A means food provider and N means Nari Shakti.
