Election Promises made by BJP for the Service Men
United Front of Ex Service Men (UFESM) is not pursuing just a one point programme of OROP. We love the poll promises made by the BJP and we can easily adopt them as our own.
Defence veterans and HRD related promises made by BJP include:
- Address the increasing shortage of commissioned and non-commissioned staff in the defence forces on a priority basis, in a time bound manner.
- Implement one rank, one pension.
- Build a War Memorial to recognize and honour the gallantry of our soldiers.
- Take measures to make Short Service Commission more attractive.
- Set up four dedicated defence universities to meet the shortage of manpower.
- Appoint a Veterans Commission to address the grievances of veterans, including reforming ECHS and re-employment of ex-servicemen.
- Ensure greater participation of Armed Forces in the decision-making process of the Ministry of Defence.
- Implement measures to improve the efficiency of Armed Forces Tribunals, and minimize appeals by the Government.
- Ensure that servicemen can register and vote from their place of posting.
