【New Delhi】The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) economic agenda, to be unveiled on February 27 by its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, is likely to keep a push for big infrastructure projects and restructuring of welfare schemes high on the list.
In what could be a departure from the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government's policies of offering sops to various sections of society, BJP's focus could be redesigning of welfare schemes in such a way that these "raise productivity and lead to asset creation".
The party's general-secretary, P Muralidhar Rao, tells Business Standard that schemes like the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) need thorough "restructuring" and should be modelled on the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana.
