Hyderabad: The BJP, in its manifesto for the December seven Assembly elections in Telangana, has proposed free distribution of one lakh cows every year. The proposal is to distribute cows in villages, at the time of festivals and others, to people who seek them, the Bharatiya Janata Pary’s manifesto committee chairman NVSS Prabhakar told PTI here Saturday.
Listing the use of cows in sectors such as agriculture and rural economy, Prabhakar, MLA in the recently-dissolved Legislative Assembly, said another proposal is to set up a ‘mini-India linguistic welfare board’. The board would take care of the welfare of linguistic minorities, those coming to Hyderabad from other states in search of livelihood, Prabhakar said. The manifesto is likely to be released formally early next week.
