Members of the LGBTQIA community are upset that political parties have been propagating their agenda and manifestos for the upcoming assembly polls, but none except for the Aam Aadmi Party have spoken about their development.

Bindumadhav Khire, a gay rights activist, and director Bindu Queer Rights Foundation said, "Some years back we celebrated the Supreme Court ruling decriminalising IPC section 377 but the government has lost focus on the development and growth of the community. Political parties are not concerned or interested in our growth and development. None of the political parties manifestos talk about us. Only the Aam Aadmi Party (APP) has raised two or three points. We were hoping that at least one line was mentioned about us regarding discrimination in education, jobs, etc."
