NEW DELHI, October 28, 2024—Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Shri Devender Yadav formally launched the Delhi Nyay Yatra in the presence of thousands of Congress workers and leaders at the Speaker Hall, Constitution Club, Rafi Marg, today. Shri Devender Yadav said that the month-long Nyay Yatra, emulating the historic over 4000km Bharat Jodo Yatra of Shri Rahul Gandhi from Kanyakumari to Srinagar to protect the Constitution and save Democracy, will begin from the Gandhi Samadhi at Rajghat on November 8, 2024. Former DPCC president and ex-MP Shri Jai Prakash Agarwal launched the Nyay Yatra logo while  former DPCC president and ex-Speaker of  Delhi Assembly Shri Subhash Chopra launched the Nyay Yatra T-shirt. Former DPCC president Ch. Anil Kumar said a vote of thanks. A video on the failures of the Aam Aadmi Party Government was also screened, which will be played during  the  Nyay Yatra to expose the corruption and betrayal of the Kejriwal Government.

 

Shri Devender Yadav said  that the Delhi Nyay Yatra will be held in four phases. The first  phase, starting from Chandni Chowk and covering 16 Assembly segments before concluding at Shalimar Bagh, will be held from November 8 to 13; the second phase  from November 15 to 20, covering 18 Assembly segments from Karawal Nagar to Jangpura; the third phase from November 22 to 27, from Badarpur  to Dwarka, covering 16 Assembly segments; the fourth and last phase from November 29 to December 4 from Hari Nagar to Timarpur, covering 20 Assemblies.

Chairman of the Communications Department and ex-MLA Shri Anil Bhardwaj moderated the function.

 

Outlining the aim and objective of the Nyay Yatra, Shri Devender Yadav said that  Congress workers  will closely interact with the people to understand their problems and find solutions to their long-standing issues. He said that in the past 11 years none of the issues affecting the people was addressed by  the Kejriwal Government, which came to power by making rosy promises, but ended up looting the  public without fulfilling any of the promises. He said that neither the Modi Government fulfilled its promises.

 

Shri Devender Yadav said that Modi came to power vowing to end price rise, unemployment and  strengthen the country, but did nothing in his 11 years as PM. He said that for the past few years Modiji  has been making attempts to weaken the Constitution to enforce one-sided justice to put the livelihood of  95 per cent of the  population in  difficulty. Similarly, he said, Arvind Kejriwal also sold big dreams to the people only to betray them after twice winning the Delhi Assembly elections with absolute majority. He said that Kejriwal destroyed the Capital, which was carefully developed as a green and clean world class city by the Sheila Dikshit Government during the 15-year Congress rule. He said that Kejriwal only made “free promises, no delivery”.

Shri Devender Yadav said that people were now looking upto the Congress party to come to power in the upcoming Assembly elections in Delhi, as people have put their  trust and faith in the Congress slogan, “Haath Badlega Halath”.

 

Shri Devender Yadav said that the corruption of the AAP Government was so deep-rooted  that leaders of AAP, including  Kejrwial, were put behind bars, and around 30 MLAs were facing serious corruption and criminal cases, yet Kejriwal was trying to put up a brave face. He said that Kejriwal was granted bail by the Supreme Court with the  rider that he would not enter the Chief Minister’s office nor sign any official documents, thus making his continuation as the CM redundant, forcing him to quit.

 

 Shri Devender Yadav said that Kejriwal came to power making many big promises like introducing the Lokpal Bill, controlling price rise, free power and water, but people have ended up paying inflated power bills with the power distribution companies arbitrarily imposing various surcharges because of which the power per unit, which was Rs 5 when Congress was in power, going upto  Rs 10 per unit. He said that instead of free water, the water supply was controlled by the tanker and bottling mafia, forcing people to purchase potable water, and all of Kejriwal’s promises were made  without any itent to fulfil.
