New Delhi [India], June 7 (ANI): Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief Chandra Shekhar Aazad who has been newly elected from Uttar Pradesh’s Nagina Lok Sabha constituency said that governments are responsible if people do not have access to basic facilities after decades of Independence.
“If basic facilities are not reaching people after so many years of Independence, then the governments are responsible for it. Discussions should be on how to create new facilities for people, so many youths are unemployed, farmers are worried,” Aazad said speaking to ANI on Friday.
“They (farmers) are not getting their minimum wages nor do they have employment. They go to sell their produce every day but there is no one to buy. This is because more than 80 crore people are living a hand-to-mouth existence,” he added.
Highlighting the need to ensure safety for women, Aazad said, “We have to ensure that women are empowered and safe. Women are not even safe in Delhi. Women should be able to feel that they have equal respect in the country.”
The Nagina Lok Sabha MP said that the time has come to question the government on their promises.
“Till now, the government has made false promises, but now we will question the government to make sure they fulfil their promises,” Aazad said.
Azad emerged as the winning candidate from Nagina Lok Sabha constituency after defeating BJP’s Om Kumar by a margin of 151473 votes.
According to the Election Commission of India, the BJP won 240 seats, much lower than its 2019 tally of 303. The Congress, on the other hand, registered a strong growth, winning 99 seats.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Samajwadi Party won 37 seats, the Bharatiya Janata Party won 33, the Congress six, Rashtriya Lok Dal two, Aazad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) one and Apna Dal (Soneylal) one seat. (ANI)
