Jaipur, Oct 06: The Akhil Bhartiya Vaishnav Parishad
today demanded that the BJP and the ruling Congress parties
field at least five candidates of Bairagi caste in the
forthcoming assembly polls.
"After independence the true Vaishnavs were neglected
socially and economically by all political parties, hence
ABVP, representing one crore people in entire country had
decided to support political party giving tickets to its
candidates," organisation president Balwant Vaishnav told a
press conference here.
There was not a single MLA representing the 15 lakh
Vaishnav population in the state, he said.
The ABVP would declare its future strategy for the
assembly polls at its national convention at Mount Abu between
October 11-12.
