In a bid to shape the political discourse and prioritize the needs of Uttarakhand`s populace, statehood agitators have unveiled a comprehensive 17-point manifesto ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. With the aim of empowering voters to make informed decisions, the manifesto outlines key areas of concern and demands that aspiring candidates address them effectively as people’s representative in Parliament.

The agitators, who played a pivotal role in the establishment of Uttarakhand as a separate state, emphasized the importance of citizens` engagement in shaping the future trajectory of governance. Their manifesto reflects the collective aspirations and pressing issues faced by the people of Uttarakhand.

Among the prominent points highlighted in the manifesto is the state`s quest for justice in the Ankita Bhandari Murder case, the need for stringent action against the paper leak scam, and the demand for special status recognition for the state. Additionally, the manifesto underscores the imperative of implementing a robust Lokayukta system and relocating the state capital to Gairsain, a long-standing demand of the hill state.

Furthermore, the manifesto advocates for the inclusion of Garhwali, Kumaoni, and Jaunsari languages in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution, a move aimed at preserving the linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of Uttarakhand. It also calls for the enactment of strong land laws to safeguard the interests of the local populace and addresses concerns regarding the adverse effects of delimitation on hill areas.
Moreover, the manifesto raises pertinent issues such as the equitable settlement of state assets between Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, reflecting the agitators` commitment to ensuring fair governance and development for all regions within state.

In light of the release of this manifesto, voters are encouraged to engage with political candidates and seek their stance on these crucial issues before casting their votes. The manifesto serves as a roadmap for the electorate, guiding them in holding their representatives accountable and shaping the future of Uttarakhand.

As the Lok Sabha elections draw near, the unveiling of this manifesto marks a significant step towards fostering transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric governance in Uttarakhand.
