Swaraj India, which is contesting the upcoming Haryana assembly election on all the 90 seats, released its first list of 10 candidates here on Tuesday.

The party’s national president Yogendra Yadav said one-third seats have been given to women and another one-third to youths and all candidates have clean image and no corruption and criminal record.

Yadav said that some of the issues the party will focus on during election are "agrarian distress, remunerative prices to the farmers, unemployment relief for educated unemployed youth, improvement in law and order situation among others.”

He alleged BJP has failed to address important issues. “As of now, there are no opposition parties in Haryana as their leaders are fighting themselves. At the same time, I am not here to form the government in the state but to secure as many as seats to sit in the opposition and raise people’s issue in the assembly,” he said.

Swaraj India President said that his party candidates are self made activists with a vision to bring change and not a single candidate is related to any established political lineage, no one has become a candidate because of money or muscle power. Most of the candidates declared by Swaraj India have been associated with the anti-corruption Lokpal movement, the farmers' association of the state or the struggles of social justice.

Yadav said Joginder Singh Tur, the well known lawyer of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has accepted to be the Lokpal of Haryana for the candidate selection process of Swaraj India. If any person has any complaint regarding any candidate on issues of corruption, character abuse, criminal or communal, he will be probed by the Lokpal.

He will also be mandated to oversee that candidates don't take to wrongdoing like money or liquor during election, he said, adding any decision in this regard from the Lokpal will be final and valid for the party. Tur is not a member of Swaraj India, and is known for his independent nature.
