Empowering transgenders.

(Same document promises to pass a law banning triple talaq)

In 2014, Modi spoke of 2019 *and* 2022.

In 2019, he's speaking of 2022, 2024 *and*... 2047.
I found it odd that the fifth point under 'Economy' in the BJP's manifesto is about promoting Yoga globally. Turns out, the exact same point is repeated under Cultural Heritage (it's point no 8 there).
