According to the ideology of the party, environmental balance is necessary in the country. Man cannot be allowed to destroy nature for his expansion, man is destroying the environment for his development, due to which pollution is increasing, natural resources are being drained from the land. The earth is being hollowed out in the name of which the earth is on the verge of destruction. When the party comes to power in the state, strict rules will be propounded for environmental protection, which are as follows – I.	The land of each village and city of the state will be determined according to its nature and requirement, in which 25% for wildlife forests, 25% for agriculture, 5% for government buildings, 5% for traffic and real estate, 10% for industries, 5% for commercial establishments. And for the remaining 25% housing, development work will be done after being protected. II. For the protection of rivers, the rivers will be protected by wire fencing by determining the distance from the industries in the population as per the standard. III. Forests and wildlife also have the same right on nature as humans, without environment, nature will also be destroyed and human life too, so for environmental protection, according to the area of each village and city, determine the forest for wildlife. Every village and city will be linked to this forest belt so that wildlife can move, apart from this, the forest will be monitored with wire fencing and CCTV cameras to prevent wildlife from coming into the residential population. IV. Government buildings of every village and city will be at one place so that facilities can be easily provided to the people there. V.

Bahujan Andolan Party advocates giving deadly weapons to the soldiers on the border because there the war is fought with the enemies of the country, but the people living inside the country, irrespective of caste, religion, party, all are equal to the country. It is a conspiracy with the people of the country to give deadly weapons to government machinery or any other powerful people through license to use them on citizens, Indian law has been made on doing any wrongdoing And to give punishment, the Honorable Court has been established, which is a completely independent institution, in which there is no place for political interference of any party, fear of law is necessary, There should be fear of law not fear of weapon to catch the criminal instead of these weapons can be used which are modern and do not pose a threat to life.
