Gujarat Congress Launches 'Jan Akrosh Yatra' to Highlight Public Issues
Imagine the Congress party in Gujarat is going on a big walk across the state called the 'Jan Akrosh Yatra'.
They are doing this to talk about problems that regular people, like farmers, students, and young people, are facing.
They say that the government, led by the BJP, has made things hard for farmers by putting them in debt and not helping them enough when they lose crops.
They also think that schools have become too expensive and that there aren't enough teachers.
The Congress leaders also pointed out issues like corruption and high unemployment.
This walk is a way for the Congress to listen to people's worries and tell the government about them.
It's also part of their plan to get ready for the next big election in 2027.
The Gujarat Congress has announced a statewide 'Jan Akrosh Yatra' starting November 21.
The Yatra aims to highlight issues faced by farmers, students, youth, women, small traders, and marginalized communities.
The first phase will cover 1,100 km across seven districts, 40 talukas, and 12 cities, concluding on December 3.
Congress leaders allege BJP's policies have led to farmer debt, commercialization of education, deteriorating law and order, and high unemployment.
The march is described as a platform for people's issues and marks the beginning of the Congress's campaign for the 2027 state elections.
