Jaipur: The Bahujan Samaj Party will contest assembly elections from all 200 constituencies in Rajasthan, a party leader on Tuesday said. Addressing a public meeting in Jaipur on the culmination of its 'Sankalp Yatra' which began on August 16 from Dholpur, BSP national convener Akash Anand said that the party has already announced its candidates in five constituencies.
"BSP has made up its mind to go full strength in the upcoming assembly elections in Rajasthan. The party is going to contest from all 200 seats. So far, five candidates have been officially announced," he said. Anand attacked the state Congress government with allegations of inflation and increasing joblessness under its rule, as well as rise in crimes against women.
"Lakhs of youths have faced unemployment during its four-year tenure. No job opportunities have been given to them, the state government has completely failed in ensuring the safety of mothers and sisters," he said, adding, that a government that cannot protect women has no right to continue.
