Jaitley to release NDA Vision Document

April 27, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:46 am IST - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:

Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will release the Vision Document of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the Assembly elections on April 30, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Kummanam Rajasekharan has said.

Mr. Rajasekharan told reporters here on Tuesday that the document would unveil the agenda of the NDA for the comprehensive development of the State.

The NDA, which has completed two phases of campaigning, would have almost all prominent national leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and national president Amit Shah, in the last leg of electioneering.

Mr. Modi would address five rallies from May 6 to May 11.

Mr. Shah too would address five rallies starting from May 1. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh would campaign in the State on May 6 and 7, Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu on May 8 and 9 and Human Resource Development Minister Smrithi Irani on May 8. Union Law Minister Sadananda Gowda would campaign for nine days from April 29.

Mr. Rajasekharan claimed that the NDA has gained a clear upper hand over the rival fronts in the first two rounds and was confident of getting a respectable win. The election result would be a verdict against the corrupt practices of the Left Democratic Front and the United Democratic Front. Both fronts were locked in a friendly contest and do not mind closing ranks as in West Bengal on getting an opportunity, he said.

The true colours of the leaders who were speaking against corruption were being exposed. Bharat Dharma Jana Sena leader Thushar Vellapally and Kerala Congress (P.C. Thomas) faction chairman P.C. Thomas also were present.
