Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has taken a bold stance against the BJP-led government in Uttar Pradesh, denouncing their use of bulldozers to demolish homes of innocent citizens while allowing the guilty to evade justice. Her strong words came during her participation in the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by her brother Rahul Gandhi, which resumed its journey from Moradabad after a two-day pause for its final leg in Uttar Pradesh.
Accompanied by Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi joined the yatra as it made its way through various districts including Amroha, Sambhal, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Hathras, Agra, and is set to conclude at Fatehpur Sikri. The yatra has been symbolic of the Congress party's commitment to addressing social injustices across the country.
The participation of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in the yatra in Agra on Sunday further underscores the unity among opposition parties against the ruling government. This alliance follows a seat-sharing arrangement between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Priyanka Gandhi's presence in Moradabad was met with enthusiasm from people across various walks of life, symbolizing the hope and support vested in the yatra's mission. She highlighted the need for systemic reforms to address pressing issues such as unemployment, inflation, and farmer distress plaguing the nation.
Expressing concern over the government's indifference to the plight of farmers and marginalized communities, Priyanka Gandhi criticized the selective use of bulldozers to target innocent citizens while allowing perpetrators of crimes to escape accountability. She emphasized the need for justice and fairness in governance, calling attention to the skewed priorities of the current administration.
The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, meaning 'Justice' added to the name, symbolizes the quest for justice and equality for all sections of society, particularly women, children, and farmers. Priyanka Gandhi stressed the importance of effecting tangible change through collective action, urging citizens to be proactive in shaping their destiny.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party's Moradabad MP ST Hasan echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the importance of preserving communal harmony amidst rising social tensions. He called for unity among Indians to safeguard the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the country.

As the yatra progresses, it will continue to garner support and momentum, amplifying the voices of the marginalized and underserved communities. The Congress has outlined a comprehensive itinerary for the yatra, with planned breaks to accommodate Rahul Gandhi's commitments abroad and in New Delhi.
The yatra's journey through various states including Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh underscores its national significance and the broad-based appeal of its message of justice and inclusivity. With each stop, the yatra reaffirms the collective resolve to challenge injustice and usher in a more equitable and compassionate society.
