RLD aims to strengthen presence at grassroots, says party chief Jayant Chaudhary

Jaipur, Jul 11 (PTI) Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) President Jayant Chaudhary on Friday laid out the party's goal of strengthening its presence at the grassroots in Rajasthan, with particular focus on the youth.

Speaking at a party programme in Jaipur, Chaudhary said that RLD will continue to fight for the rights of farmers, youths and marginalised communities, following the ideals of Chaudhary Charan Singh.

"Our aim is to build a strong organisation by reaching every village and town. We will open 'Jan Sunwai' (public hearing) centres in these areas to engage directly with the people," he said.

Chaudhary, a Union minister, pointed out that many helpful schemes fail to reach the underprivileged. "RLD will work to make sure that these schemes reach the people who need them the most," he said.

The minister also discussed Central government's agricultural policies and confirmed that RLD would take an active role in implementing them at the grassroots level. "Farmers will play a key role in the next state elections," he said.

Chaudhary-led RLD is an ally of the ruling National Democratic Alliance.

The party's state president Joginder Singh Awana said that large rallies will be held in each division of Rajasthan, and later at the tehsil level. PTI SDA RUK RUK
