Supreme Court intervened in the Waqf Board and BP conflict, and didn't allow it to take over BP offices. The hearing against Waqf Board as the case filed by BP will also start after the elections, though the clear date of hearing isn't decided yet.
Days passed, and political campaign continued on large scale. BP continuously attacked the parties in Maharashtra and Karnataka over inefficient government offices, not filling the government positions fully, corruption, and most importantly, not taking care of education, healthcare and infrastructure.
All the MLA and MP candidates campaigned locally over the bad roads, garbage, electricity, and even proposed solutions in their campaign.
In her rally in Nagpur, Shreya Gandhi talked about the extortion done by private schools and hospitals and bad quality of government schools and hospitals. One of the main promises of BP was to put a cap on private school fees, standardise Hospital test bills, and in the ten years, make education free for all and make Hospitals more affordable.
She also promised to increase the salaries of government employees via an incentive system, where those who work efficiently and earnestly will earn more.
Another thing she talked about was the contract corruption, where politicians take their share from the contracts for public infrastructure and build low quality infra that often collapses and kills people every year.
And another big thing she promised was to form an anti-terror group in the police, along with providing every policeman with body-cams so that police can't abuse its power.
For solving corruption, she promised to bring RTI Act, through which everyone will have the power to get any information unless its of national security like military. Congress also promised the same, but she promised to bring political parties under it too, which Congress, BJP, or any other party will not like. It will force even political parties to be more transparent.
For every constituency, she talked about what to develop in which place. Mumbai as a financial and tourism capital, Thane for ship-building, Pune and Bengaluru for IT industries and research, Nashik, Aurangabad, Belagavi, Mengaluru for electronic manufacturing, Nashik for textile, cement, solar panels, batteries, etc.
Apart from that, 'One Distruct, One Product' was a major motto in the campaign, for not only focusing on Bengaluru and Mumbai, but uplifting every district.
Another major campaign promise was to solve the water problem. In monsoon everything is flooded, and in summers, there is scarcity of water. To solve the issue, implementation of incentives on building rain water harvesting infra for existing houses, and making it compulsory to build it along with new structures. Moreover, cleaning the rivers, fixing the drainage, treating the water, and storing away the excess water during monsoon for all-year use was promised.
For farmers and villagers, it was promised to introduce a cap on private debt interests, and most importantly, Shivaji Village Agro-Development Employment Scheme(SVADES) was promised to counter Congress's promise of MGNAREGA.
SVADES promised 100 days of vocational training for one girl of each family in every village of the age 18 to 25 in farming techniques, organic manure and fertiliser making, biomass and biofuel production, and most importantly, training to start their village cooperatives to be able to sell their produce directly without middlemen cheating them.
Cold storages will be built in each big village and town for storing the extra perishable farm produce, one truck will be provided to each village cooperative for transporting their produce.
And it will also guarante 100 days of employment for each boy of the age 22 to 25 in building roads, helping in installation of water and biofuel pipelines, building roads, biomass generators, and village roads for the next 10 years.
It was essentially MGNAREGA, but completely planned out and detailed, which Congress just left at 100 days of employment without telling any details.
BJP campained the election on 'India Shining', without any major freebies. Congress campaigned on 'MGNAREGA', a freebie without planning. And BP campaigned on almost everything, with the issue of Kashmiri Hindus, Triple Talaq, Child Marriage, education, healthcare, farmer's debts, and most probably the most import thing is SVADES. A freebie, but with planning.
20th April is about to arrive, and voting will start.
