7-Party Front, Loktantrik Morcha To Contest All Rajasthan Assembly Seats

The front was launched last month by former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and consists of CPI, CPI (M), CPI (ML), MCPI (United), Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal and Janata Dal (Secular).

 

The Loktantrik Morcha, a seven-party alliance in Rajasthan, on Saturday announced that it will contest on all 200 seats in the upcoming state assembly and CPI(M) leader Amra Ram will be its chief ministerial candidate.

The front was launched last month by former prime minister HD Deve Gowda and consists of CPI, CPI (M), CPI (ML), MCPI (United), Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal and Janata Dal (Secular).

“We will contest on all 200 seats and Amra Ram will be the Morcha’s CM candidate,” a spokesperson of the alliance said.

“The alliance has been formed to give a new alternative to the people of Rajasthan,” he added.

All like-minded parties and leaders are welcome to join us, the spokesperson said.

He said a 15-member core committee, which will have representation of all the seven parties, will be formed to decide on the seat-sharing arrangement.

The Loktantrik Morcha members have a small presence in Rajasthan and have no member in the current legislative assembly.

In 2013 assembly elections, CPI(M) and CPI contested on 38 and 23 seats respectively. JD(S), CPI(ML), SP and RLD contested on 6, 5, 56 and 8 seats respectively.

MP Assembly Elections: Samajwadi Party to Contest 24 Seats

Samajwadi Party’s national secretary Rajendra Chaudhary said that it is ready to go into the assembly election in Madhya Pradesh with full strength. It will contest around two dozen assembly constituencies in the state.

The Samajwadi Party is planning to contest 24 seats in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, according to its leaders.

In a statement issued in Lucknow, a party spokesperson said, “SP national president Akhilesh Yadav will be in Madhya Pradesh on a two-day visit. On September 29, he will address a public meeting at Shahdol. On the 30th, he will address a public meeting in Balaghat.”
SP’s national secretary Rajendra Chaudhary said, “Akhilesh Yadav has already held a number of programmes in the recent past in Bhopal, Satna, Rewa, Khajuraho, Panna, Sidhi, Shahdil. Hence, the Samajwadi Party is ready to go into the assembly election in Madhya Pradesh with full strength. It will contest around two dozen assembly constituencies in the state.”

The party organisation has expanded in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, Chaudhary claimed.

Chaudhary said, “In the past 15 years of the BJP rule in MP, youngsters have been pushed to the brink of unemployment. The condition of farmers is bad, and they are deprived of irrigation facilities and minimum support price for their crops.”
