Terming it as a “people-centric” manifesto, the BJP said that it has incorporated grass-root level suggestions offered by the people to the Party through various mediums of communication. To elicit public opinion for drafting its manifesto for upcoming Assembly polls, BJP Goa had sent Sankalp Peti across all the places to receive valuable suggestions from the people.

“The thrust of the manifesto will be to carry forward BJP’s Golden Goa,” the party said.
