Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) senior leader Manish Sisodia on Wednesday took part in a ‘Tiranga Sankalp Yatra’ in Noida to mark the 75th year of Independence.
Attacking the Uttar Pradesh Government, Sisodia said, “Our freedom fighters gave their lives to protect the honour of our Tiranga but the honour of the same Tiranga is now at stake in Uttar Pradesh because of its cheap politics.”
“The AAP will take the glory and honour of the Tiranga to a new high through its dedication and devotion for the uplift of Uttar Pradesh,” he added.
Recently, Agra police had registered a case against 17 AAP leaders, including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh, for violating Covid-19 protocols during the party’s Tiranga Yatra.
“The AAP will carry out the Tiranga Yatra in all the Assembly seats in Uttar Pradesh and take a pledge that every child, woman, elderly person and farmer living under the Tiranga should not be robbed of their rights,” Sisodia said.
Sisodia said, “Uttar Pradesh Government is neither able to provide jobs to the unemployed nor farmers are getting a fair price for their crops. Corruption is rampant everywhere in the entire State. We will take the politics of development to every village of Uttar Pradesh through honesty and education. In the 75th year of Independence, we take a pledge that through our work, we will increase the pride of the Tiranga. We will work and fulfil the dream of India as envisioned by Baba Saheb and other freedom fighters.”
On the occasion AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, “The AAP will carry out this yatra in Ayodhya on September 14 and later in 403 assembly segments of Uttar Pradesh.
“We will stand under the Tiranga and take a pledge that we will make Uttar Pradesh corruption free, ensuring right price to farmers for their crops, upliftment of the poor and providing employment, ensuring free health treatment and quality education,” he said.
“There is an atmosphere like British rule in Uttar Pradesh. When the AAP organised a Tiranga Yatra in Agra, 517 people were sued by the Yogi Government. Today, the lotus flag has become bigger than our Tiranga, for the BJP. When the BJP takes out the Jan-Ashirwad Yatra, thousands of people gather and nothing happens, but if people celebrate Independence with the Tiranga, then they are prosecuted,” Singh said.
