JJP-ASP manifesto out, woos farmers & youth
Six days ahead of the Assembly elections, the JJP-ASP (Kanshi Ram) alliance released its joint manifesto ‘Jan Sewapatra’ in Sirsa today. Former Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala highlighted the achievements of his party during their tenure in the Haryana Government and outlined the alliance’ vision for the state.
He noted that despite having just 10 MLAs in the Assembly, the JJP played a significant role in shaping government policies over the past four-and-a-half years. He said the party has consistently advocated for the rights and welfare of farmers, labourers, women, and youth.
He presented the ‘Jan Sewapatra’ as a comprehensive plan for the development and prosperity of the state and described it as a commitment to transform Haryana’s future.
The manifesto contains several promises aimed at different segments of society. The most notable of them include MSP for all crops produced in Haryana, a monthly pension of Rs 5,100 for the elderly and Rs 25,000 per acre as compensation for crop damage. Chautala emphasised that if the JJP-ASP alliance forms the government, they will ensure that every grain grown in Haryana is purchased at the MSP, offering a safety net to farmers.
Azad Samaj Party leader Chandrashekhar Azad said the alliance represents a historic step toward social justice and equality.
