 "Voting, elections")
The Johar Chhattisgarh Party (JHP), the political wing of the Chhattisgarh Kranti Sena, has released its first list of 31 candidates for the upcoming Chhattisgarh Assembly elections. Along with the list, the party unveiled its manifesto containing 44 points.
In the 2018 Assembly elections, the Chhattisgarh Kranti Sena opposed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and supported the Congress. Amit Baghel, the party's state president, said that this time, the Kranti Sena has launched its own party and has the "potential to disrupt the political landscape on several Assembly seats".
In the manifesto released, the party stated that it would provide 100 per cent employment to local youth in private, government, and public sector units in Chhattisgarh. Baghel said that the party has its presence in all state districts, and has over one million party workers.
