Among the pledges outlined in the manifesto, Tejashwi Yadav highlighted the commitment to construct five new airports in Bihar to enhance connectivity.
These airports are proposed to be established in Purnea, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur, Gopalganj, and Raxaul, aiming to facilitate easier access and travel within the state.
Additionally, the manifesto includes promises for special status for Bihar and the implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) to address specific regional needs and concerns.
Furthermore, the manifesto includes initiatives such as providing cooking gas cylinders at a subsidized rate of Rs 500 and offering financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh annually to women from economically disadvantaged households.
The RJD leader also promised one crore jobs to youths across the country.
"If our INDI alliance is voted to power, we will give government jobs to one crore youth across the country," he added.
