AYODHYA: The two-km Tiranga Yatra of Aam Aadmi Party in Ayodhya on Tuesday lasted for more than five hours with people carrying the Tricolour and chanting slogans of Inquilab Zindabad and Vande Mataram.
Beginning from the 18th century mausoleum of Nawab Nawab Shuja-ud-Daulah, the yatra culminated at Gandhi Park, covering the route fixed by the administration.
The yatra was led by Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh.
Talking to TOI before the yatra, Sisodia said, “Fake nationalists are stunned as energetic youth chant Vande Mataram. The youth of Uttar Pradesh has come to know that real nationalism means good education, good health system, employment opportunities and safe society where there is no fear of criminals.”
He added, “The life of Lord Ram gives the message of brotherhood. Forgetting the distinctions of caste and creed, he teaches to embrace everyone.”
Sisodia and Singh had reached Ayodhya on Monday, a day ahead of the yatra. They had offered prayers at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple and Hanuman Garhi temple and met saints and seers.
Sisodia said the Tiranga Yatra aims to bring in a new politics of development and honesty in Uttar Pradesh.
AAP has already held similar rallies in Lucknow, Agra and Noida and plans to take out more yatras in other cities ahead of the elections.
