Former Deputy Chief Minister and AJSU party chief Sudesh Mahto said that his party is determined to make Jharkhand a vibrant state.
Addressing a public meeting in Dumka on Thursday, Mahto reiterated that AJSU party will not enter into pre-poll alliance with any party and will contest all the 81 Assembly constituencies and 14 lok Sabha seats.
Demanding immediate dissolution of the Assembly, he said that his party would contest the election on the issue of stable government and development.
He further pointed out that the number of MlAs of his party has increased during last four elections and his party is focusing on entire Jharkhand this time.
According to Mahto, his party will give priority to the agenda of overcoming the prevailing deficiencies in governance. He also said that the Jharkhand assembly has already approved of increasing of number of seats of Jharkhand assembly.
“We believe that the number of seats in Jharkhand assembly should be increased and legislative council should be constituted so that intellectuals could also contribute to the development of the state,” said Mahto.
According to Mahto, the party favours to bring all the sections of the society at one platform and provide them their due shares. Asserting that he had secured 50 percent reservation for women in panchayat elections during his tenure, Mahto also promised to ensure women's participation in the developmental process.
“I want the women of Jharkhand to go to the other states as a nurse and other professionals instead of going outside as maid servants,” he added.
Without naming Shibu Soren and Hemant Soren, Mahto said that Santhal Pargana lags behind in the developmental pace owing to lack of efficient leadership.
Expressing his desire to make Santhal Pargana the centre of development in the State, Mahto said that he wanted to fulfill the aspirations of the martyrs like Sido and Kanhu and will provide better political alternatives without any discrimination.
