Bharatiya Janata Party · Lok Sabha General Election 2024

“We have 60% current ministers in the Union Council of Ministers from OBC, SC and ST communities. We have provided constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes. The benefits of all Garib Kalyan programmes have reached the OBC, SC and ST families. We are committed to Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and adequate participation of all sections in our journey to Viksit Bharat.”
Some stated elements are completed facts: the National Commission for Backward Classes was granted constitutional status via the 102nd Constitutional Amendment in 2018. The forward-looking commitment — "adequate participation of all sections" under Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas — is an open-ended aspiration rather than a defined, measurable target, and welfare-scheme reach to SC/ST/OBC families is an ongoing process. Marked partial: structural steps exist, but the participation pledge is not a completable, verifiable deliverable.
We have set up a High Powered Committee to examine the issues of conducting simultaneous elections and will work towards the implementation of the recommendations of the Committee.
We have already enacted a strict law to stop misconduct in recruitment exams across the country. We will strictly implement this law to ensure strict punishment to those playing with the future of our youth.
We will further strengthen the capacity of statistical institutions to give an impetus to data driven policy making.
