Just six days before the Bihar elections, NDA released its manifesto featuring the 'Panchamrit Guarantee' — five major promises for the poor: free ration, 125 units of free electricity, free treatment up to ₹5 lakh, 50 lakh houses, and social security pension. The manifesto also pledges 1 crore jobs, ₹9,000 annual aid to farmers, and ₹1 lakh crore industrial investment.
