Initial Attempts
Adhikar Sena was initially started by ex IPS officer Amitabh Thakur and social activist Dr Nutan Thakur along with others in August 2021.[2]
Immediately after this announcement, Thakur was arrested in a criminal case, which he alleged to be politically motivated.[3][4]
Resumption
Later Thakur resumed the work of initiating the formation of Adhikar Sena after his release from Jail in March 2022.[5]
In June 2022, the formation of Adhikar Sena was again announced.[6][7] He said the primary aim of Adhikar Sena is to instill the feeling and concept that all the powers (Adhikar) and authorities lie in the citizen of India, as bestowed through the Constitution of India and various laws of the Land.[8] Currently, the Party is in process of getting registered in Election Commission of India.
Various works
After its formation, Adhikar Sena has been expanding and working in various areas of India, with particular focus on Uttar Pradesh. It has been making its presence felt through various interventions.[9][10]
Meanwhile, Thakur has announced that he will contest 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Ballia .[11][12]
Adhikar Sena participated in the December 2022 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Bye-elections, where its candidates Mohammad Yusuf and Moin Khan contested respectively from Khatauli and Rampur assembly seats.[13]
Adhikar Sena has also decided to participate in the forthcoming Local urban bodies elections in Uttar Pradesh.[14][15][16][17][18]
Recently Adhikar Sena has declared that it will come in full support of Khushi Dubey, the wife of slain gangster of Bikru case, Kanpur.
