NEW DELHI,11 April 2026 : Unveiling the Bharatiya Janata Party’s manifesto ‘Sankalp Patra’ ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the party would implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in the state within six months and provide Rs 3,000 per month to strengthen women’s financial independence.
Calling the manifesto a roadmap for building a “Sonar Bangla”, Shah said the BJP’s promises were aimed at farmers, youth, women and government employees.
Launching a sharp attack on the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), the Union Home Minister alleged that the last 15 years of Mamata Banerjee’s government had been a “nightmare” for the people of West Bengal.
“The BJP Sankalp Patra will guide farmers, youth and women, giving them a new direction. It will offer renewed hope to every citizen who takes pride in Bengal’s culture and will serve as a roadmap for the creation of Sonar Bangla,” Shah said.
He said the BJP government would bring Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s welfare model to Bengal and ensure that all central government schemes are implemented with full accountability.
Focus On Women’s Empowerment
The Union Home Minister announced a monthly assistance of Rs 3,000 to strengthen women’s financial independence. He also said that 33% reservation would be provided for women in the police force and in all government jobs in the state.
The BJP also set a target of creating 75 lakh “Lakhpati Didis” to empower women economically. Shah said there would be at least one women’s police station in every mandal, along with a help desk in every police station.
