Formation of NFP is being spearheaded by the Vivekananda Foundation; a New Delhi-based NGO engaged in social work and has lakhs of volunteers across the country.
Talking to reporters here today, Mr Amlan Biswas, Managing Trustee, Vivekananda Foundation said, "A new political party has been formed to bring in real and revolutionary changes in the country. The process is complete now, we are ready and the party will be launched on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti - October 1. We will declare our national and state's executive committees along with the complete roadmap on that auspicious day."
"We are not yet ready for a big state like Uttar Pradesh, however, we are focusing on Gujarat, Punjab, Goa and Tripura initially and will contest all other Assembly elections in the next two years, followed by General Elections in 2019," he added.
"The party, with its aim to provide a viable alternative to distraught youth and masses, will contest all Assembly seats on its own in states like Punjab, Goa, Gujarat and Tripura," Biswas emphasized.
Announcing its electoral strategies and future plans, Mr Dinesh Chauhan, Chairperson of the Foundation said, "We have chalked out our political and electoral actions for the coming Assembly elections. We have decided to contest all Assembly seats in three states next year and Tripura in 2018."
The foundation is spearheading this political movement with the help of its youth cadre, intellectuals and support of those who seek real change in the system.
The mission is to mobilize the youth of the country to join this movement which seeks to reform the system and would provide better governance options with new elements like 'Know Your Government' (KYG). The party aims to fulfil new-age aspirations of the youth with its clear, transparent and realistic vision. The party, with support of the foundation, enjoys huge support base in many parts of the country. The party aims to resolve and address the problems of youth first as it strongly feels the youth is a very powerful tool for change that India wants to see to become one of the most powerful nations of the world.
"We held all major political parties responsible for the pathetic state of affairs in the country. There is no growth oriented development or inclusive growth, ills like unemployment, hunger and corruption are at an all-time high, law and order situation is worsening day by day. The youth are frustrated. In such a scenario, we will bring in real change," Mr Biswas said.
"We will be announcing national executive committee on October 1, 2016 with a mega launch event to mark respect for Mahatama Gandhi. Cadre, supporters and leaders from several parts of the country will gather on that day to be part of this new movement," Mr Chauhan said.
The party is attracting youth and getting support from all quarters. A massive membership drive will begin from October1. "We are the disciples of Mahatma Gandhi, who taught the world non-violence and weaponized it to quell any violence. We belong to Shaheed Bhagat Singh, who was the paragon of patriotism," he said, while requesting everyone, especially the youth to unite and move ahead to realize the long cherished dream of our forefathers to make India shine.
"To get rid of all ills, created and promoted by politicians with vested interests, I appeal to the youth of our nation to fight against the rampant corruption in our system and work for 'system upgradation'. This is for those who want to work for the betterment of the poor farmers, labourers, and for the upliftment of weaker and helpless sections of society," Mr Biswas said.
Leaders and members of the party will continue to put their efforts to make India a nation as dreamed by our freedom fighters and martyrs Ram Prasad Bismil, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Shaheed Bhagat Singh. With these names, the name of the party has been perfectly aligned. The wait will be over on October 1, 2016. The party is dedicated to build a society free from poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, casteism, communalism and regional biases.
