In a significant political move, Divya Mittal, a former Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, has declared that her newly formed party, Jan Neeti Bharat, will contest all 403 seats in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. This announcement was made during an event in Mirzapur, where she also paid homage to a local statue, indicating her commitment to the region.
Mittal, who has transitioned into politics after a notable career in the IAS, stated that her party's primary goal is to ensure that citizens are at the heart of policymaking. She expressed her determination to find strong candidates for each constituency, emphasizing the need for representation that resonates with the public's voice. This initiative comes shortly after her voluntary retirement from civil service, marking her entry into the political arena.
During her address, Mittal highlighted the importance of accountability in governance, stating that her party would ensure that elected representatives remain answerable to the electorate throughout their term, rather than just during elections. She criticized the existing political framework, suggesting that it often sidelines the voices of ordinary citizens. "The problem is not a shortage of parties; the problem is a lack of people being heard," she remarked, underscoring her party's mission to change this dynamic.
Jan Neeti Bharat plans to adopt a grassroots approach for its campaign, relying on door-to-door outreach rather than extensive advertising due to financial constraints. Mittal noted that every household would act as a campaign office, with supporters playing a crucial role in mobilizing community engagement. This strategy aims to foster a direct connection between the party and the voters, reinforcing the party's commitment to transparency and citizen involvement.
Looking ahead, Mittal's party is gearing up for the electoral challenge, with the assembly elections approaching. Her call for active participation from the public has already garnered significant attention, as many individuals have reached out expressing their willingness to join the political movement. As Jan Neeti Bharat prepares for its debut in the political landscape, the focus will remain on building a robust candidate base and ensuring that the voices of the people are prioritized in governance.
