BJP promises Rs 25k for flood victims, tablets for students, free metro rides for women
The BJP had announced several freebies in its manifesto: Free tablets for government school students in view of difficulties in accessing online education during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Rs 25,000 for each family affected by the recent rains in the city, free electricity for families that consume less than 100 units, and, taking a leaf from the Congress manifesto, free travel for women in city buses and metro trains.
The document, released by former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, however, didn't mention free COVID-19 vaccine for all. The saffron party had made that promise during campaigning for the Bihar Assembly election, which sparked a controversy.
The GHMC manifesto said that the vaccine will be given by the GHMC as per the Central Government's plan.
