A “people’s manifesto” released by civil rights groups ahead of the upcoming Assembly election in Rajasthan has called upon political parties to give the highest priority to citizens’ democratic rights. The manifesto was released on Wednesday in the presence of representatives from the ruling Congress, Opposition BJP, and other parties.
Activists from the Rajasthan Election Watch and Suchna Evum Rozgar Adhikar Abhiyan prepared the manifesto in consultation with citizens, social organisations, and experts in different fields. Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan founder-member Nikhil Dey said the manifesto would affirm the people’s right to monitor the polls and keep a watch on the conduct of candidates.
