Veterans to enter poll arena
Description
The Veterans’ Association (VA), which has active units in over 22 states in the country, has decided to take the poll plunge starting with Uttar Pradesh elections till the 2024 Lok Sabha poll.The decision by veterans, protesting with farmers at Ghazipur, Tikri and Singhu, is in contrast with the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha stance of requesting voters to vote against the BJP in poll-bound states.“We will contest all state elections from 2022 till the 2024 Lok Sabha elections,” said Subedar Major JP Mishra(retd), founding president of the association. “We may also form a party. Otherwise, we will field Independent candidates,” he added. — TNS
