ESM enter State Elections

RASHTRIYA RAKSHA DAL, FIELDS MAJOR IS JAKHAR (RETD) FROM DELHI CANTT CONSTITUENCY

Dear Members of the Press,
Responding to a widely and long felt need for efficient and clean governance, retired Defence Personnel of India have decided to enter the legislative arena. Not only will such an effort inject dedicated, honest and experienced leaders into the polity, but also give a voice to the hitherto unrepresented but one of the largest communities- that of the retired defence services personnel (with a voting strength, which can be built up to eighty million).
Defence Personnel while in service, have so far been denied the rights to vote at the place of posting, the provision of which existed in the Election rules but was never put into practice in any of the Elections so far.
Rashtriya Raksha Dal, a party formed by Ex-Servicemen, is a Registered National Party.
Defence personnel are specially endowed with qualities of high integrity, loyalty, honesty and administrative acumen and ability to withstand long durations of sustained stress and strain. If Ex Servicemen, who have decades of experience, are elected as MPs and MLAs, they can contribute a lot to the nation building process. It is tragic that such talent as theirs has not so far been fully utilized, in spite of their retirement from active service at a relatively young age. This effort is aimed to correct this HRD shortcoming.
Major IS Jakhar, nominated by RRD, to stand for the Delhi Cantt constituency, besides being a voice for Defence personnel, will work with scrupulous honesty, total commitment and unparalleled efficiency to develop and maintain Delhi Cantt to a high standard as a livable constituency.
It is reliably learnt that Serving Defence personnel at Delhi Cantt have, once again not been registered as voters despite instructions by the Election Commissioner. Maj IS Jakhar has petitioned to the Chief Election, Officer Delhi State to order revision of voters to ensure 100 percent serving Defence personnel and their dependents are given the option to exercise their franchise at the place of posting before the Elections. This HQ is pursuing the correction of this injustice with the electoral authorities at different stages.
His Election symbol is "Pair of Candles". You are requested to kindly cover this item in your news paper/ TV Channel.

Yours faithfully,
Col MS Krishnamoorthy (Retd)
General Secretary
For Rashtriya Raksha Dal
