AAP’s padyatra enters Day 3 in UP
The Aam Aadmi Party’s ‘Rojgaar Do – Samajik Nyay Do’ padyatra continued its outreach efforts as the foot march entered its third day on Friday, moving from Bikapur in Ayodhya to Kurebhar in Sultanpur.The march, led by AAP UP in-charge and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, passed through Khajurahat, where residents gathered along the route.Addressing the participants, Singh said that the padyatra aims to draw attention to unemployment and issues concerning Dalits, backward groups and other communities. He said the campaign sought “employment for youth and an end to discrimination.” He added, “Ram Rajya will be possible only when everyone gets equal opportunities and every hand gets work. Society cannot progress without employment and justice.”Singh also criticised the BJP-led state government over paper leaks and alleged irregularities in recruitment exams. Citing vacancies across departments, he said more than 2 lakh posts were vacant in the Education Department, around 50,000 in Health and Medical Services and over 1 lakh in Police and Security Services, highlighting how the gap between sanctioned posts and appointments has affected job seekers. Referring to incidents involving Dalits and backward communities, Sanjay Singh alleged discrimination in various institutions. “Democracy cannot be strong until the last person in society gets justice,” he said.Commenting on AAP’s win in the Tarn Taran by-election in Punjab, Singh said the result reflected public support for the party’s approach to governance. “The Tarn Taran victory shows that people want development, education, and jobs — and that is exactly what AAP stands for,” he said.The 13-day march, covering nearly 200 km, will travel through Sultanpur and Amethi before concluding in Prayagraj.
