The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday unveiled its manifesto for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, promising cash support for women, a crackdown on corruption with jail terms, implementation
of a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) within six months, and a hardline policy on infiltration if voted to power.
BJP’s Sankalp Patra was unveiled in the presence Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who said this manifesto charts a “path to bring every section of Bengal out of despair” and aligns with PM Modi’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat”.
“Today, the Bharatiya Janata Party has just released its manifesto for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. This manifesto provides a path to overcome the deep despair prevailing across all sections of Bengal. It offers new direction for farmers facing uncertainty due to crop losses, for unemployed youth, and for women living in fear.
