Union minister and senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad released the party's manifesto for Jharkhand elections today, promising jobs for at least one member of every below-poverty-line (BPL) family in the state, if re-elected to power.
The party also pledged to provide financial assistance to high school students from backward and poor families.
Every student of Classes 9 and 10 will receive Rs 2,200 and that of Classes 11 and 12 Rs 7,500 as scholarships, Mr Prasad said.
