Bhopal, Nov 17 (IANS): The BJP on Saturday said it would give a bonus of Rs 265 to farmers with up to 5 acres of land in Madhya Pradesh, and also pledged to announce a new salary framework for state government employees.

"The Madhya Pradesh government has tried to help farmers in every possible way. We have sought to ensure irrigation to every farmland, and subsidy to every farmer. Now, the BJP has decided to give a bonus of Rs 265 directly into the bank account of every farmer with up to 5 acres of land," Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said here, releasing the party's vision document in the presence of Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

The vision document, or manifesto, also promises to boost health and education services in the state, while promoting public transport.
