On the 12th day of the Delhi Nyay Yatra, thousands of women Congress leaders, workers, and local residents joined Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav to mark Women’s Justice Day. The event, held on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, began at Swaran Cinema Chowk, 60-Foota Road, Vishwas Nagar Assembly. Women from the All India Mahila Congress and Delhi Pradesh Mahila Congress, carrying Congress flags, added vibrancy to the march. Yadav emphasized that the Nyay Yatra aimed to seek justice for the women of Delhi, who have endured significant neglect and injustice under the Kejriwal government and the BJP over the past decade. Prominent leaders, including All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba, Amrita Dhawan, and Delhi Pradesh Mahila Congress President Pushpa Singh, participated in the march.
The Congress covered four constituencies as part of its Nyay Yatra ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. The Yatra concluded at Buland Masjid Chowk in Shastri Park, Gandhi Nagar, after covering areas in the Vishwas Nagar and Gandhi Nagar constituencies. Moving at a deliberate pace, Devender Yadav engaged with women at various stops, speaking to those working hard to make a living.
To highlight the challenges faced by women under the Kejriwal government, participants carried banners and placards with the slogan: “Dilli Ab Aur Nahi Sahegi—Naari Nyay Ka Haq Lekar Rahegi” (Delhi will tolerate no more—women will claim their right to justice). Yadav criticized the rising crimes against women in the capital and condemned the lack of governance, pointing out that even the Supreme Court had to intervene on issues like severe air pollution, which has reached emergency levels with an AQI close to 500. Placards with slogans like “Jan Leva Pradushan Se Dilli Behal—Nahi Chahiye Arvind Kejriwal” (Deadly pollution has overwhelmed Delhi—we don’t need Arvind Kejriwal) were prominently displayed during the march.
Devender Yadav accused the Kejriwal government of betraying the public on key issues such as unemployment, education, health, electricity, water, air pollution, garbage management, and infrastructure. He alleged that Kejriwal’s false promises and misgovernance have eroded public trust, and the people of Delhi are now determined to vote him out of power in 2025. Yadav asserted that the Congress symbol, the ‘hand,’ represents hope and a brighter future, as people turn to Congress to lead Delhi toward progress after the upcoming Assembly elections.
