AAP's 'give jobs, give social justice' padyatra reaches Amethi on its seventh day

On the seventh day of the “rojgaar do, samajik nyay do” padyatra, led by Aam Aadmi Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, the march proceeded through Sultanpur district. Starting at 10 am from Maa Bhagwati Lawn in Utari, the procession passed through Pratapganj Bazaar, Raghav Dhaba, Durgapur Bazaar and Ramganj before reaching Shyam Vatika in Trisundi, Amethi. The yatra was received by the residents at various stops.During the march, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that Uttar Pradesh has become the state with the highest number of unemployed people in the country, with youth being particularly affected. He added that farmers, weavers and families involved in small-scale industries are also facing difficulties linked to unemployment. Singh alleged that government policies have adversely impacted small enterprises and traditional occupations.He further stated that caste-based discrimination remains a major barrier to social progress in Uttar Pradesh. Through this padyatra, he said, the demand is for equality and transparency across systems, including in government functioning and recruitment processes. According to him, social justice and development will remain incomplete until caste-based inequities are addressed.At Pratapganj Bazaar, Sharafat Ullah Ansari, Mujeeb Ahmed, Girish Tiwari, Upendra Tiwari, Rakesh Tiwari, Zubair Khan and Alok Tiwari welcomed Sanjay Singh with garlands. At Bisani, village head Anil Yadav joined Singh in interacting with residents and hearing their concerns.Upon reaching Narayanpur, the padyatra was received by Harishankar Jaiswal, Dharmendra Nath Shukla, Dr Malkhan Singh, Satish Kumar Srivastava, Ram Niranjan Kori, Ram Bahadur Yadav, Ghanshyam Soni, Kavita Kashyap, Pooja Verma and Lakshmi. At Raghav Dhaba, Harishankar Jaiswal, Atul Singh and others welcomed the march. In Ramganj, Anil Kori, Krishan, Santosh Kumar, Umesh, Shivpujan, Vishal and Satish Sahu greeted the padyatra.After the day-long march, Sanjay Singh reached Shyam Vatika in Trisundi, Amethi, in the evening, where a sizeable gathering met the padyatra. The “give jobs – give social justice” march is scheduled to resume tomorrow from Shyam Vatika in Trisundi and will move through different parts of Amethi towards its next halt. Go to Source
