Research notes
Text read from the party's English manifesto PDF as archived by the Wayback Machine on 2009-04-09 from bjp.org (file located via a CDX listing; raw copy cached at pipeline/.cache/bjp09/bjp09en.pdf). Every quote was string-matched against the PDF text layer. Page numbers are the printed page numbers, which equal PDF page numbers. Release date 3 April 2009 is from an ISAS (NUS) brief dated 9 April 2009. The PDF is titled internally 'REVISED Manifesto' and the economy chapter's numbered list jumps from item 8 (page 19) to item 5 (page 20), so some text may be missing from this copy. Headline selection was cross-checked against the party's 'Executive Summary and Highlights' (manifestos_main_points_eng_final.pdf, archived the same day). Deadlines: the end of the term that would have followed (2014-05-26) unless the text states one; '100 days' and 'three years' are counted from 2009-05-22, the date the new government was sworn in.
