LUCKNOW, Nov. 17 -- Union minister Jayant Chaudhary, who was re-elected Rashtriya Lok Dal's (RLD) president at the party's national convention in Kosi, Mathura, on Sunday, reaffirmed the commitment to alliance with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He outlined his vision for the party and issued clear directives to leaders and workers. "The Prime Minister has entrusted me with a major responsibility, and we will fulfil it with dedication," he said, emphasising that the partnership with the NDA remains strong. Beginning his address with gratitude towards his constituency, he said, "The people of Mathura elected me to Parliament for the first time. I will never forget the affection this land has given me." He formally acknowledged his three-year term as RLD president. Taking a swipe at the opposition, he said, "The opposition today has a family, but neither leadership nor policy-- this is why it continues to fail." Chaudhary urged workers to strengthen the party at the grassroots in keeping with the values of Chaudhary Charan Singh. "Become active members of the RLD. When villages, farmers and the poor are at the centre of national conversation, that is our true victory." htc...
