BJP’s Manifesto for Municipal Elections released: Promises of Pink Toilets, Auditorium, and New Sewage plants

April 29, 2026

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its manifesto for the urban local body elections on Wednesday during a ceremony held in Panchkula. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including CM Nayab Saini, various ministers, Members of Parliament (MPs), Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs), and party functionaries.

A separate manifesto has also been released specifically for the Ambala Municipal Corporation. This document outlines numerous promises, such as the construction of ‘Pink Toilets,’ new Municipal Corporation offices, and an auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 people in Sector-10. It also includes a pledge to address Ambala’s most pressing issues: waterlogging and flood prevention.

However, most of these promises were also featured in the BJP’s previous manifesto—promises that remain unfulfilled. Furthermore, the BJP had made similar pledges, such as those regarding flood relief, during the previous Assembly elections as well.

New Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs): STPs of varying capacities will be constructed in Nayagaon, Kaonla village, and Devi Nagar at an approximate cost of ₹170 crore.

Clean Drinking Water: A Water Treatment Plant with a capacity of 10 MLD (Million Liters per Day) will be established in Sector-24 at a cost of ₹40 crore.

Flood Prevention: A special action plan will be implemented to prevent waterlogging in the low-lying areas of the city.

Pink Toilets: Modern ‘Pink Toilets’ will be constructed for the convenience of women, featuring amenities such as sanitary napkin vending machines and infant feeding rooms.

Street Lighting and Safety: Lighting arrangements will be improved in sensitive areas and public parks to ensure that women feel safe and secure.

Waste-to-Energy: To keep the city clean, the number of waste collection machines will be increased, and a plant for generating electricity from waste will be established.

Auditorium and Offices: A grand auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 will be constructed in Sector-10 at a cost of ₹60 crore. Additionally, a Municipal Corporation office complex and a shopping area will be developed at Jagadhri Gate.

Fire Station: A modern fire station will be constructed in Sector-23 at a cost of ₹10 crore.

Digitalization: Services such as property tax payments, issuance of birth and death certificates, and building plan approvals will be fully digitized and made available online.
