Bhim Army and Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad is once again seen challenging the government. By-elections are to be held on 10 assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh. Chandrashekhar Azad has said that his party will contest on all the seats. Certainly, his announcement of contesting the elections is bound to create a stir in the political corridors. However, the dates of the elections have not been announced yet. But Chandrashekhar and his colleagues have started campaigning.
Lok Sabha MP from Nagina Chandrashekhar Azad said in a public meeting at Sarainaayat in Phulpur assembly constituency on Saturday that on the strength of the blessings of the people of Nagina, we will fight the by-elections on all 10 assembly seats strongly. Chandrashekhar Azad said that a kind of hooliganism is going on in Uttar Pradesh in which people are forced to write their names on carts and in other places people are beaten with sticks for demanding their rights. Here the youth are desperate for employment and there is no one to listen to them.
The head of Bhim Army said that after the police recruitment paper was leaked, the exam was cancelled. No one had raised the demand for re-conducting the exam and I myself raised this demand repeatedly and now it seems that the state government has woken up.
Chandrashekhar Azad, without naming the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), said that there are many parties in Uttar Pradesh which have members in the Legislative Assembly but do not have a single member in the Lok Sabha, whereas a worker of Azad Samaj Party has reached the Lok Sabha through public struggle.
After BJP MLA from Phulpur assembly Praveen Patel was elected as MP from Phulpur Lok Sabha seat, by-elections will be held on this seat. Chandrashekhar Azad has started his campaign even before the announcement of elections.
Private bill for reservation in private sector
Chandrashekhar Azad introduced a private bill in the Lok Sabha on Friday. This bill demands reservation for Scheduled Castes -SC, Scheduled Tribes -ST and Other Backward Classes -OBC in private sector, educational institutions and other establishments which employ at least 20 people and the government has no financial interest. This bill is formally named the Reservation Act, 2024 for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes in Private Sector.
