NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party has quietly put off the release of its long-awaited....
medium-term vision document until after the Lok Sabha elections, apparently because of fears its aggressively liberal stance on key economic issues, notably on labour and PSU reform, could trigger controversy and prove to be a distraction during the campaign.
The 'India Vision 2025' document has been ready for some weeks. The document openly backs industry's longstanding call for "retrenchment of labour to be made liberal" and unequivocally supports privatisation or even shutdown of loss-making PSUs along with vigorous disinvestment, ideas that will win support from industry but could be politically tricky.
BJP sources said the senior leaders took up the document during a meeting of the party's parliamentary board on March 13 and it was decided not to release it before the elections. Prepared by a team led by former BJP president Nitin Gadkari, it was conceived as one of a set of three documents that included the party's manifesto and its chargesheet against the UPA government.

India Vision 2025 was supposed to have been released in the first week of April soon after the release of the manifesto for 2014 elections on March 31. Gadkari confirmed to ET that it was ready, but said BJP's Parliamentary Board had "decided that the focus for now should be on elections".
BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said no date had been fixed for the release of the vision document. "The focus is on the chargesheet against UPA and the manifesto. Both the documents will be released after the ticket distribution is complete. That should be by the month-end or early next month," she said. However, BJP sources said there were certain ideas in the document that had the potential to trigger controversy and senior leaders therefore decided the party's focus now should be on the task at hand and not on unnecessary fire-fighting. The document will first be discussed and debated within the party and then made public.
"Some of the things from the vision document have found their way into the manifesto," one source, a BJP leader, told ET. Other sources involved in making the manifesto confirmed that although there were areas of overlap in the vision documents and the manifesto, contentious issues have been kept out of the latter. Most of them pertain to the section on economy and agriculture of the vision document, they said.
Available with ET, the section talks about reforming labour laws, rationalising taxation laws and privatising loss-making PSUs. The document quotes senior leader LK Advani to outline the philosophy behind the economic vision — "Liberalisation means decontrol, deregulation and debureaucratisation". Conceived as the party's medium-term vision, the document calls for creating a framework of labour laws that "enable the hiring of labour during times of business expansion and downsize to manage business downturns".

Might be a better move since most voters will simply not understand that the BJP`s economic agenda is much better for the economy than the semi socialist nonsense made by the UPA like the food security bill for instance.

True indeed,that is what most of the educated community out there is asking for be it an employe or an employer,this may sound like the libralisation efforts in '91 where most of them were against it but it turned out to be a game changer in the end,this will be fruitfull as well ,but its perhaps not the time yet for that matter to be made public.
