Gadkari promised that the Char Dham Highway will be finished by December 2022 after unveiling the BJP's election programme. "The development activity you've witnessed in the state is simply a trailer," said the Union minister. "The manifesto has three fundamental pillars: ethics, economy, ecology, and environment," Gadkari said after unveiling it.
Speaking on occasion, Dhami stated that if the BJP is re-elected, it would tighten the legislation against 'Love Jihad,' including a provision for ten years in prison. The party promised impoverished farmers Rs 6,000 per year in addition to the money they receive under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi in its platform. In Drishti Patra 2022, it also promised 50,000 government employment to the young.
