"We'll ensure complete implementation of UCC in Gujarat as per recommendations of a state government committee. We will also create an anti-radicalisation cell to identify and eliminate potential threats, sleeper cells of terrorist organisations and anti-India forces," BJP chief J P Nadda said on Saturday while releasing the party's manifesto for the Gujarat assembly polls. On October 29, the Gujarat government had announced that it would form a committee for the implementation of the UCC.
The manifesto also promised to bring a "Gujarat Recovery of Damages of Public and Private Properties Act" to recover the cost of damage caused to public and private property by anti-social elements during riots and protests.&nbsp;This legislation was proposed to be introduced in the assembly earlier this year but was not tabled.
Promising a boost in health spending, the annual cover under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (Ayushman Bharat) per family will be doubled from Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh, the manifesto said. Free diagnostic service at health centres and approved laboratories for EWS households, setting up three civil hospitals or "medi cities" also figure in the manifesto.
On education, BJP promised free education for girls from "kindergarten to postgraduation" and setting up two AIIMS-level institutions. It also vowed to establish four Gujarat Institutes of Technology on the lines of the IITs. Promises for farmers include spending Rs 10,000 crore for the overall development of APMCs, mandis, sorting and grading units, cold chains, etc, while Rs 25,000 crore was proposed to be spent to strengthen the irrigation network.
