These promises are somehow the same as Congress, and accusing BJP of copy-pasting the Congress manifesto, leader Priyanka Gandhi said "The BJP should name its 'Ghoshna Patra' as 'Dhokha patra'. The BJP, which used the talk about past 70 years, could not fulfill even one-fourth of the promises made in its manifesto in past five years," Priyanka said.
"It (manifesto) neither has the account of the work of five years nor has the vision of building the future. That is why, it (BJP) has copy-pasted the pledges of Congress," she added.
