Dr Pravin Togadia Launches Political Party: Hindustan Nirman Dal with slogan Bharosa Ab ki baar Public ki Sarkaar

Former Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Pravin Togadia, whose support base has dwindled substantially in the recent past, is seeking a revival of his persona with the launch of a new political party today. The party does not stray far from the extreme rightwing ideology of the VHP, and will participate in the Lok Sabha elections with the promise of passing an ordinance to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya. The 62-year-old Antarrashtriya Hindu Parishad president, who had quit the VHP last year after being with the outfit for three decades, said he himself may contest from Ayodhya, the centre of the Ram temple agitation. Togadia, who will be the party’s national president, has said he has shortlisted candidates for more than 40 seats in different States.
