The Rajya Swaraj Party, floated by the Uttarakhand Swabhiman Morcha, says it will contest all 70 seats in the 2027 Assembly election and aims to form the state government.
Current Summary
Uttarakhand Swabhiman Morcha president Bobby Panwar said the newly formed Rajya Swaraj Party (RSP) will contest all 70 Assembly seats in the 2027 Uttarakhand election and aims to form the state government. Addressing media, Panwar launched the party's election symbol, a diamond, allotted by the Election Commission. RSP president Bharat Rawat said Congress and BJP had governed Uttarakhand through its 26 years of existence but left problems such as unemployment, migration, land laws, local rights and employment opportunities unresolved, adding that young people continue to migrate from the hills in search of jobs while education, healthcare and infrastructure remain inadequate in many mountainous areas. He said the party would organise meetings, discussions and public interaction programmes across districts to bring together young people, social organisations, intellectuals and regional groups, with protecting Uttarakhand's identity and local interests as its primary objective. The party is preparing to release a manifesto. Several people, including ex-servicemen, joined the party at the launch event, along with founding member Deveshwar Bhatt and a general secretary.
