The Jan Adhikar Party has made its manifesto public for the House of Representatives elections.
The manifesto released in Rajbiraj, Saptari on Tuesday stated that the Madhesh-centric parties were entangled in their own interests, and that there was no development in the province.
‘After federalism came, the parties that called themselves Madheshi led the province for the first 5 years and the second 3 years, but unfortunately, there was no improvement in any index in the province,’ the letter said. ‘Although it is endowed with geographical accessibility, fertile land, easy access to infrastructure and other resources, the human development index, literacy rate, employment, education and health are equally weak.’
The party believes that the Madhesh parties born from the rights movement have not been able to develop as expected in the province because they sought their own personal rights, indulged in nepotism and kinship. ‘The people won 53 seats in 2064 against the then Madhesh Janadhikar Forum, which emerged from the sacrifices of the Madhesh in 2063. Now, the JSP Nepal has become’ the letter said. ‘The people also gave leadership to the then RJP. Everyone should know the situation of who the leaders of these parties are and what they are doing.'
The Janmat Party, which had been talking about good governance until 2079, has also been accused in the letter of being entangled in personal interests even after taking over the leadership of the province for almost one and a half years. 'The name of the Madhesi Party has been changed many times, and it is not inappropriate to say that development has not been possible because the leaders and the leaders' attitudes have not changed,' the manifesto says, 'The Jan Adhikar Party was born by taking into account the essence of the Genji rebellion for good governance and the situation created by those leaders.'
The manifesto made public by Sharad Singh Yadav, the candidate for Saptari Constituency No. 2, who is also the party's chairman, mentions that significant improvements will be made in the education, health, agriculture, forest and environment, labor, transportation, industry and commerce and tourism sectors of the Madhesh province. The manifesto also includes improvements in sports, physical infrastructure, public services, culture and customs.
Meanwhile, Sunil Raj Das, the candidate from Aam Janata Party (AJP) in Saptari constituency number 2, has decided to directly support the Jan Adhikar Party. At the same press conference, Das said that he supported the party because he believes that educated youth should be elected from here to put Madhesh issues in the parliament in a strong manner. "I don't see other Madhesh-centric parties even putting up a photo of the late leader Gajendra Narayan Singh, let alone raising the problems and issues here!," he said, "Educated youth like him (Sharad Singh Yadav) should be in the parliament."
In the proportional representation, Das, who is also the district in-charge of AJP, said that there was an internal agreement with the Jan Adhikar Party to seek votes for AJP.
