Shri Pandian said that the opposition parties prepare false manifestos. A few days before, the Congress released the manifesto, but even its own party leaders did not believe in it. In the 2014 manifesto, the BJP promised to reduce all prices. Even in the 2019 manifesto, the BJP repeated the lie. This time also, the BJP has made a false manifesto, he said.
