UP Elections 2022: Amit Shah to release BJP manifesto in Lucknow today

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to release the Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in Lucknow on Tuesday morning.

“The Union Minister for Home and Cooperation, Amit Shah will release the BJP’s ‘Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra’ on February 8, 2022 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh,” the party said in a statement.

The release of BJP’s manifesto ‘Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra’ was postponed in honor of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, who died of multi-organ failure on Sunday at the age of 92.

According to highly placed sources in the party, the BJP manifesto may include issues of nationalism, development, good governance and development of Kashi Mathura.

Voting in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases on February 10, 14, 20, 23, 27 and March 3 and 7. The counting of votes will take place on March 10.

In the 2017 assembly elections, the BJP had won a landslide victory, winning 312 assembly seats. The party secured 39.67 per cent vote share in the elections to the 403-member assembly.

Samajwadi Party (SP) won 47 seats, BSP 19 seats, while Congress could win only seven seats.
