AAP foot march arrives in Hathras; Sanjay Singh slams Centre for unemployment, divisive politics

AAP's foot march in Hathras highlights unemployment and divisive politics, criticizing the Centre's neglect of core social issues.

Aam Aadmi Party's "Rozgar Do, Samajik Nyay Do" foot march reached Hathras on Sunday (April 5, 2026), where it accused the Central government of diverting attention from core issues such as employment, education and social justice.

The fourth leg of the Statewide protest march, led by Rajya Sabha MP and AAP's Uttar Pradesh in-charge Sanjay Singh, began in Agra on April 3 and is scheduled to end in Mathura on April 9.

Talking to reporters, Mr. Singh criticised the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that efforts were being made to spread hatred in the name of caste and religion instead of addressing pressing concerns.

He said the primary aim of the march is to highlight unemployment and counter divisive politics.

"A long queue of unemployed youth has emerged in Uttar Pradesh," Mr. Singh said.

The AAP leader claimed that students graduating from institutions such as University of Allahabad, University of Lucknow, Aligarh Muslim University, and Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University are struggling to find jobs and allegedly face police action when they demand employment.
