Peaceful Protest Rally for People’s Rights in Gaya!

07 February 2024, Gaya: Lok Samiti, Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Vahini, and Majdoor Kisan Samiti organized a historic demonstration for justice and empowerment!

On 6th February, around 2,500 villagers united from various blocks of Gaya district to demand their rights and voice their concerns. Led by the spirit of Loknayak JP, we marched from Gandhi Maidan to the District Collector’s office, presenting a people’s memorandum to the Governor of Bihar.

Our demands are clear and urgent:

• Restoration of APMC
• Law for MSP
• Rs. 5000 KSY Honorarium
• Farmer loan waivers
• Improved irrigation and subsidies
• Rs. 3000 old age pension
• Protection of Bhudan land from land mafias
• Infrastructure development for education and agriculture

The ADM (law & order) has assured us of forwarding our demands to the Governor and pledged action on issues within the district’s jurisdiction.

Back at Gandhi Maidan, our leaders like Mr. Kaushal Ganesh Azad (National Convenor, Lok Samiti), Mrs. Putul Kumari (President, Gaya Jila Lok Samiti), Mr. Bishundhari Suman (District Co-ordinator, Majdoor Kisan Samiti), Dr. Mundrika Prasad Nayak, Mr. Ramlakhan Bhagat, Mr. Baleshwar Manjhi, Mr. Kavindra Prasad Singh, Mr. Nathul Paswan, Mr. Jagdev Singh, and Mrs. Meera Devi have addressed the gathering, emphasizing the significance of our memorandum and the government’s responsibility towards its citizens’ welfare. Later they met Mr. Jitan Ram Manjhi (Minister, Govt. of Bihar) who supported the demands.

Together, with voices raised and hearts united, we strive for a brighter, more just future for all. Stand with us in solidarity! #GayaProtest #PeoplesRights #SocialJustice #LokSamiti
