‘I Will Help Arrange Marriages for Unmarried Men’
Anita Saini has said that if she wins the election, she will make every possible effort to help village residents who are struggling to find a suitable life partner.
She has said she is prepared to visit other villages to look for prospective brides if necessary. She has even spoken about trying to arrange a train for the wedding procession.
Her promise has given the local election campaign an unusual talking point, bringing the issue of marriage among unmarried young men into her campaign agenda.
An Unusual Addition to the Election Agenda
While other candidates are approaching voters with promises related to development and basic amenities, Anita Saini has chosen to highlight a social concern that has drawn attention in some parts of Rajasthan and neighbouring Haryana.
Reports from these regions have periodically highlighted difficulties faced by some young men in finding marriage partners. There have also been reports of women being brought from other states for marriage, alongside serious cases involving trafficking and exploitation.
Against this backdrop, Saini’s promise has become a subject of discussion during the local election campaign.
Viral Video Sparks Discussion
The video of Anita Saini’s election promise has generated considerable discussion on social media. Many users have described it as an unconventional approach to campaigning, far removed from the usual promises of roads, drainage, electricity and water facilities.
However, it remains unclear what specific steps she would take to fulfil the promise if elected.
For now, the pledge made by the sarpanch aspirant from Jhajhar village has become a talking point in Jhunjhunu’s local election campaign.
