"The manifesto highlights three major points -- nationalism is our motivation, inclusion is our philosophy and governance is our mantra.

"We want people to hold us accountable. Hence, we have set out 75 goals to be achieved by 2022," he added.

The BJP manifesto was a "multi-layered and multi-dimensional" document that addressed the expectations and aspirations of all sections of the society, the prime minister said, adding that it contained "jan ki mann ki baat".

It aimed to make India a developed nation by 2047, on the completion of 100 years of Independence, he said.

"We want to fight poverty rather than sit inside air-conditioned rooms. Nationalism is our inspiration and inclusion and good governance is our mantra.
