Rajasthan Congress president Sachin Pilot on Tuesday termed the BJP manifesto released today as disappointing and said that it is a copy of the 2013 manifesto of the party.

"As the ruling government failed to fulfil its promises made during in the 2013 manifesto, it has again brought the same manifesto by changing its contents a little," Pilot said.

Had the ruling government been serious about doubling the farmers' income by bringing transparent MSP policy for them, as mentioned in the manifesto released on Tuesday, it should have done so within its five-year tenure, he said.

"The government has promised to generate jobs for 50 lakh people in the next five years, but why has it failed to reveal the names of those 15 lakh beneficiaries who it claims have been given jobs?" he questioned.
