‘Every student in this country deserves access to the best quality education — for free’
Andalib Akhter / Lucknow
Samajwadi Party today released its election manifesto with focus on ‘Greater Change through social justice’ and empowering poor and downtrodden. The manifesto also promised to ameliorate farmer misery.
The manifesto ‘Maha Parivartan Through Social Justice: A New Vision, A New Hope’ underscored that a 100% farm-loan waiver is the first step. But ensuring farmers get paid a fair MSP is equally important.
The Party also promised women empowerment and gender justice in its manifesto.
While releasing his party’s manifesto in Lucknow Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that Farmers will be happy only when their loans are waived-off completely.
“The need of the hour is a government that serves the many and not the few, that heals divisions and bridges differences, that rebuilds trust by being bound to a single oath to the Constitution of India” said SP chief.
On this occasion, Akhilesh Yadav also targeted BJP and said that they are making rich people more richer and poor people poorer through their policies like GST. He said that BJP has weakened the fight for social justice.
