The INDIA opposition alliance has unveiled its much-anticipated vision document for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, presenting a comprehensive roadmap that addresses the state's most pressing challenges. The manifesto outlines ambitious plans across employment, agriculture, social justice, and governance sectors.
Employment Generation Takes Center Stage
At the heart of the manifesto lies a bold employment promise: the creation of 10 lakh government jobs. This commitment directly addresses Bihar's chronic unemployment crisis and aims to provide stable employment opportunities for the state's youth. The alliance has positioned job creation as its top priority, recognizing it as a key concern among voters.
Social Justice and Caste Census
The manifesto strongly emphasizes social justice principles, with a firm commitment to conducting a comprehensive caste census. This move is seen as crucial for ensuring equitable distribution of resources and opportunities among all communities. The document also promises to strengthen reservation policies and implement social welfare measures for marginalized groups.
Agricultural Reforms and Farmer Support
Recognizing agriculture as Bihar's economic backbone, the alliance has proposed significant farmer-friendly measures. The manifesto includes a complete farm loan waiver program and promises to enhance minimum support prices for agricultural produce. These measures aim to alleviate the financial burden on farmers and boost rural economy.
Education and Healthcare Revolution
The vision document outlines substantial reforms in social sectors, including:
- Modernization of government schools and healthcare facilities
- Increased investment in public education infrastructure
- Expansion of healthcare access in rural areas
- Special focus on women's education and healthcare needs
Infrastructure and Industrial Development

- Road connectivity and transportation networks
- Power supply and renewable energy projects
- Industrial corridors and investment promotion
- Digital infrastructure expansion
Political Significance and Electoral Strategy
This manifesto represents the INDIA bloc's consolidated strategy to challenge the ruling NDA government in Bihar. By addressing core issues of employment, social justice, and agricultural distress, the alliance aims to present a credible alternative to voters. The document reflects extensive consultations with various stakeholders and incorporates feedback from ground-level assessments.
As Bihar prepares for the crucial 2025 assembly elections, this manifesto sets the stage for a vigorous political contest, with development and governance emerging as central themes in the electoral discourse.
