“We Will Awaken Uttar Pradesh”: Sanjay Singh Flags Off AAP’s Sarayu to Sangam Yatra

Aam Aadmi Party's 180-kilometre "Sarayu to Sangam" Yatra began in Ayodhya on Tuesday morning, marking the start of a major campaign to connect with people across Uttar Pradesh. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh led the march from the banks of the Sarayu river after offering prayers. He later spoke to the media, explaining the purpose and spirit behind the initiative.

Sanjay Singh's Message at the Launch

Speaking to journalists at Sarayu Ghat, Sanjay Singh said, "We have resolved from Sarayu Ghat that we will awaken people in the entire Uttar Pradesh on the issue of employment and social justice. Today it has begun, and we will take this Yatra of Aam Aadmi Party from Ayodhya to Prayagraj. There are two issues: unemployed youth and farmers, bulldozers on stalls, and the shutdown of medium, small, and cottage industries in the state. The second issue is the demand for social justice."

He said that the Yatra represents the determination of the people rather than a political ritual. Singh stated that the Aam Aadmi Party will reach out to citizens directly and make them aware of their rights related to jobs, equality, and dignity.

From the Sarayu to the Sangam

The march, which began in Ayodhya, will travel through towns and villages before concluding in Prayagraj at the Sangam. Over twelve days, AAP volunteers will hold meetings with youth, farmers, and small business owners to listen to their problems and raise awareness about issues such as unemployment and economic distress. The journey aims to turn local struggles into a state-wide conversation.

Purpose Behind the Yatra

According to the Aam Aadmi Party, the "Sarayu to Sangam" Yatra is focused on two major issues in Uttar Pradesh: employment and social justice. The party says the state has been facing a serious job crisis, with halted recruitments, delayed examinations, and frequent paper leaks. It also highlights the growing concerns of farmers and small industries that have suffered from unpaid dues and lack of support.

Sanjay Singh said the Yatra is meant to remind both the government and the public that real power lies with the people. He added that when the voices of citizens are ignored, movements like this become necessary to bring their concerns back to the center of governance.
