Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 10 : Maharashtra Minister and senior BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar highlighted the party's 'Sankalp Patra' released on Sunday and stated that it envisions bringing all sections of people to the mainstream.
Speaking to ANI on the sidelines of the launch event, Mungantiwar also emphasised the Sankalp Patra promise to make the state a major contribution one to the country's five trillion economy.
"Our Sankalp Patra is to make Maharashtra a major contributing state to our 5 trillion economy. All those sections of people who are still devoid of the mainstream will be brought to mainstream through schemes of Govt, as envisioned in our Sankalp Patra," the BJP leader said.
Speaking on anti-conversion law, he said that forceful conversions are not acceptable and the law was not for a specific community.
"When the debate took place at the Constituent Assembly, Babasaheb Ambedkar said a lot of things. Mahatma Gandhi too wanted there should be no forceful religious conversions. If someone indulges in forceful conversions, it is not acceptable. This law is not for a specific community. Even Hindus can't forcefully convert someone or lure someone to convert," he said.
