Samajwadi Party pledges caste survey, free power in its list of ‘firm promises’ for M.P. polls

The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Tuesday vowed to conduct a caste survey and assured to provide rights and respect to Dalits, backward communities and minorities if it gets to rule Madhya Pradesh as the outfit announced “firm promises” for voters of the State going to polls on November 17.

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and SP president Akhilesh Yadav unveiled the document titled “pakke vaade” (firm promises) of the outfit for the M.P. polls, listing a host of assurances, including a pension scheme for women, free power up to 300 units, and restoration of the old pension scheme for State government employees, party spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhury said in Lucknow.

He said the document is not a manifesto but a list of promises which the SP will try to fulfil if its candidates get elected in the polls.
