Lokdal secretary Vijendra Singh visits Meerut for the first time after assuming office and receives a grand welcome

New Delhi: With the Lok Sabha elections due next year, Lok Dal, a political party that upholds the farmer-friendly ideology of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, has made its presence felt in western Uttar Pradesh. After being appointed national general secretary of the party, Vijendra Singh held a grand roadshow from Ghaziabad to Meerut on his arrival in the city on Monday.

Singh was given a grand welcome by the party workers at the Kashi Toll Plaza, Rohta Bypass and Kank Kakeda in Meerut. He paid tribute to the statue of Chaudhary Charan Singh at the Commissioner’s office before reaching Meerut Circuit House.

Vijendra Singh told the media that Lok Dal is the true well-wisher of farmers. “Lok Dal was founded by Chaudhary Charan Singh and we follow his ideals,” he said. Singh launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), saying the party had forgotten the ideals of Chaudhary Charan Singh.

“We will fight for the rights of farmers in western Uttar Pradesh and across Uttar Pradesh. We will launch a major movement for the problems of sugarcane farmers and loan waivers,” Singh added.

Singh said that Lok Dal will organize major programs on former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh’s birth anniversary on December 23 by uniting farmers in Uttar Pradesh. He further informed that his party will appeal to the government to enact a law on MSP and provide farmers with the right price for their crops.

Singh also thanked the people for the immense public support and blessings shown to him during his first visit to his home district of Meerut after assuming office. He announced that Lok Dal will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in strong force.

Singh looked at other political parties, including RLD, and said his party is the ‘real Lok Dal’.

The farmer has woken up and returns to his roots after understanding the truth. RLD has done family politics only in the name of farmers. Now people in western Uttar Pradesh prefer Lok Dal, not Rashtriya Lok Dal.

The Samajwadi Party and RLD have jointly cheated the farmers. Even though they are in opposition, they have not yet started a major movement.
