We heard several incidents of IIT or IIM graduate left his job to fulfill his dream to work for country in different means. Very similar but different way, 50 tech graduates from different IITs quit their high salaried jobs and constituted BAP (Bahujan Azad Party). In order to raise voice of the backward castes in the country, 50 alumni of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have quit their job and formed a political party. The group, which is waiting for approval from the Election Commission, has named its party 'Bahujan Azad Party' (BAP).
Naveen Kumar, the party's chief, says that all the people in our party are graduates from different IITs of the country and all have left their jobs.
BAP chief Navin Kumar completed his education from IIT Delhi in 2015, said that party members do not want to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He said, "We do not want to finish any work in haste as a small party. We will start the Bihar assembly elections in 2020 and then we will target the next Lok Sabha election. "
Most of the members of the party belong to the Backward or Backward Classes, who believe SC-ST and OBC communities are not fully entitled in education and employment sector.
These techies are using social media as a tool for their campaign. Pictures of Bhimrao Ambedkar, Subhash Chandra Bose and APJ Abdul Kalam have also been posted in the poster.
Kumar said, "Once our party's registration is complete, we will start working at the grass root level for target groups by making small units. We do not want to present ourselves as an opponent of any political party or ideology. "
The founder member of Bahujan Azad Party (BAP) Akhilesh blamed that there is a discrimination against backward class students in IIT. He said that the need for this party was felt only during the studies in IIT. All students here have no equal right. Those who get admission from the reservation do not have good dealings with them.
Akhilesh said that his party will not do politics in the name of backwardness. They will give their rights to the backward. Young people from 25 to 40 years of age will be their candidates. Their party will make OBC, SC, ST and women as their candidates. Those who have criminal cases registered, they will not get the ticket.
Kumar said, "Once we register, we will create small units of the party which will start working at the grassroots level. We do not want to present ourselves as a rival of any political party. ' - Window To News
