Rai was interacting with the media along with the party’s state spokesperson, Kaptan Singh Chahar.

“We will carry this membership campaign to every village and focus on youths. The party will contest the local bodies elections of Nagar Panchayat and Nagar Palika and for this, members are being enrolled in every ward,” he stated.

Rai attacked the BJP for failing to fulfil the promises made before the elections. He said farmers were still waiting for doubling of their income, as promised by the BJP. The promise of 2 crores jobs to youths was also not fulfilled, he alleged.

“The new recruitment scheme for Indian Armed forces, Agnipath is injustice to youths who are feeling cheated. RLD will organize a Yuva Aakrosh Sammellan to highlight this step by the BJP,” said Rai.

“The government should withdraw Agnipath scheme and also cases lodged against protesters. The Uttar Pradesh government is anti-farmer and anti-youth and farmers in UP are committing suicide,” he alleged.
