Priyanka joins Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in its last leg in UP
She will accompany Gandhi as the yatra passes through Amroha, Sambhal, Bulandshahr, concluding at Fatehpur Sikri on Sunday, the Congress said.
LUCKNOW: Over a month after the commencement of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined her brother on Saturday in the brass city of Moradabad, which happens to be the native place of Priyanka’s in-laws, after a two-day halt for march’s final leg.
People raised slogans such as ‘Rahul Gandhi zindabaad’, ‘Priyanka Gandhi zindabaad’ and ‘Congress party zindabaad’ as the yatra passed through different areas of Moradabad. The Congress leaders were seen waving to people from an open jeep.
According to party sources, the AICC general secretary would accompany the Yatra from Moradabad, to Fatehpur Sikri via Amroha, Sambhal, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Hathras, and Agra from where it will enter Rajasthan.
Priyanka was supposed to join the Yatra from Chandauli district of eastern UP on February 16 but she got unwell and was admitted to Sir Gangaram Hospital in New Delhi. Priyanka was discharged early this week.
Speaking at the Yatra in Moradabad, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra lashed out at the state govt for an alleged paper leak during the police recruitment examination which was held on February 17-18.
“Twenty-eight lakh students took the exam for UP Police but the paper was leaked… As BJP’s government is formed in the centre and state, unemployment rates have increased… Until you are not employed, you don’t get facilities, paper leaks are not stopped, and there will be no development. Change will happen only when you cast your vote according to your experiences,” she said while addressing the gathering around the yatra.
She also alleged that bulldozers are used to demolish the homes of “innocent people” while the “guilty” escape unscathed.
