Former CBI director Nageshwar Rao has announced that his newly formed party will field candidates in every constituency of Uttar Pradesh’s 403 seats ahead of the state elections.
Former CBI director Nageshwar Rao has formally launched a new political outfit in Uttar Pradesh, announcing that it will seek candidates for all 403 assembly seats. The move comes as the state gears up for its next legislative elections, scheduled for early next year.
Rao’s party, which has yet to register with the Election Commission, is actively canvassing across the state to identify potential candidates. Party officials have set up regional offices in major districts to streamline the selection process.
Political analysts note that the entry of a former law‑enforcement chief could attract voters looking for a disciplined and anti-corruption platform. However, the party’s success will depend on its ability to build a robust grassroots network in a state dominated by established parties.
The party’s leadership has emphasized that it will focus on issues such as law and order, infrastructure development, and job creation. It has also pledged to maintain transparency in candidate selection, a move that could appeal to the electorate’s growing demand for clean politics.
