The Rajya Swaraj Party has declared its intention to field candidates in every one of Uttarakhand’s 70 assembly constituencies, as announced by party leader Panwar.
The Rajya Swaraj Party, a relatively new political outfit, said it will contest all 70 seats in the upcoming Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election. The decision was disclosed during a press briefing held in Dehradun, where the party’s state chief, Panwar, outlined its electoral strategy.
Panwar emphasized that the party aims to present a uniform alternative to voters across the state, arguing that a full‑scale contest will allow it to gauge its support base and challenge established parties on a level playing field.
Political analysts note that fielding candidates in every constituency is an ambitious move for a nascent party, and it could split votes in closely contested regions. The Election Commission’s filing deadline for nominations is approaching, and the party is expected to submit its list of candidates shortly.
The announcement adds another dimension to the multi‑cornered contest in Uttarakhand, where national and regional parties are already gearing up for a fiercely competitive poll.
