Amit Shah launched BJP's Sankalp Patra in Kolkata ahead of the 2026 West Bengal elections, highlighting key promises including financial support for women, job reservations, and major development plans across the state.
Kolkata, April 10, 2026: The atmosphere surrounding the 2026 West Bengal Assembly Elections has heated up. Today in Kolkata, Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the BJP's election manifesto—dubbed the 'Sankalp Patra' (Pledge Document). On this occasion, Shah launched a scathing attack on the TMC government and made several major announcements for the people of Bengal.
Amit Shah said that this is not merely a piece of paper, but a roadmap for creating a 'Sonar Bangla'.
Key Highlights of the Manifesto:
This time, the BJP has placed a significant focus on women, the youth, and government employees. These points are crucial for ranking this article:
₹3,000 Monthly Allowance for Women: The BJP has pledged that if they form the government, every woman will receive a direct monthly transfer of ₹3,000 into her bank account.
Uniform Civil Code (UCC): Shah has made it clear that the UCC will be implemented in Bengal within six months of the government assuming office.
7th Pay Commission: Great news for government employees in West Bengal—the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission will be implemented within 45 days of the government being formed.
Support for Unemployed Youth: Unemployed graduates will receive financial assistance of ₹3,000 per month to aid them in their job preparation.
Zero Tolerance on Infiltration: A policy of 'Detect, Delete, and Deport' will be adopted to combat infiltration, and the borders will be sealed.
"The 15-Year Nightmare Will End" – Amit Shah
In his speech, Shah stated that the past 15 years have been like a 'Kal Ratri' (dark night) for Bengal. He pledged that once the BJP forms the government, the corrupt will be sent to jail and the 'Syndicate Raj' will be dismantled. Promises were also made to establish separate AIIMS, IIT, and IIM institutions for North Bengal.
