Former Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Praveen Togadia announced on Tuesday that he would launch a political party that would contest the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Togadia now heads an organisation called Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad.
Addressing a ‘Sankalp Sabha’ from the banks of river Saryu in Ayodhya, he said his party would be the main alternative ‘A’ to B (BJP) and C (Congress).
He said the name of the party and the candidates’ list would be announced in Delhi next month. Speaking to his supporters, he said, “Ram Mandir nahi to hinduon ka vote nahi..Surakshit mahila, samman yukta kissan, sasta petrol, Bangladeshion se mukti, hum naye rajnaitik dal ki ghoshna karte hain (On the banks of Saryu, we take a pledge to form a government of Hindus in Delhi in 2019. If there is no Ram temple, then there is no vote from Hindus. For the security of women, respect for farmers, cheap petrol, removal of Bangladeshis, we declare the formation of a new political party”, as reported by Indian Express.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
