NDA Promises One Crore Jobs in Bihar Manifesto
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) unveiled its election manifesto, titled “Sankalp Patra,” for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections in Patna on October 31, 2025. The alliance has promised to generate over one crore government jobs, establish mega skill development centres across districts, and attract new industrial investment to boost the state’s economy. The manifesto highlights employment creation as its central agenda.
Women Empowerment and Infrastructure Plans
The NDA also announced a major women’s empowerment initiative aiming to make one crore women “Lakhpati Didis”, offering financial support of up to ₹2 lakh to promote entrepreneurship and self-employment. The manifesto further pledges seven new expressways, metro services in four cities, and free quality education from kindergarten to postgraduate levels to strengthen social and physical infrastructure.
Political Strategy and Opposition Response
Analysts see the manifesto as a high-stakes strategy aimed at countering the Mahagathbandhan’s employment promise of “one government job per family.” Opposition leaders, including Tejashwi Yadav, dismissed the manifesto as unrealistic, calling it “a document of false assurances.” NDA leaders, however, claimed that the promises reflect achievable goals supported by ongoing policy reforms and fiscal planning.
