New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to release Bharatiya Janata Party's manifesto for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls on Tuesday (February 8, 2022) in Lucknow.

The release of BJP's manifesto 'Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra' was postponed as a mark of respect to the legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, who died of multi-organ failure on Sunday at the age of 92. 

"The Union Minister for Home and Cooperation, Amit Shah will release the BJP`s 'Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra' on February 8, 2022, in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh," the party said in a statement.
