NDA leaders hold Padyatra in Uttar Pradesh to demonstrate unity

National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders conducted the ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ Padyatra in Uttar Pradesh, including stops in Gorakhpur and Lucknow. The march featured prominent figures such as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, BJP National President Nalin Coomar Nitin Gadkari (referred to as Nitin Nabin in reports), Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and leaders from allied parties including Jayant Chaudhary of the Rashtriya Lok Dal, Dr. Sanjay Nishad of the Nishad Party, and Arvind Rajbhar of the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party.

In Gorakhpur, the procession moved from Maharana Pratap Inter College through Golghar to the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel statue, showcasing the combined flags and presence of various coalition partners. In Lucknow, cabinet ministers used the event to criticize opposition leaders, specifically targeting Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. Ministers alleged that the opposition seeks to create chaos and that their political influence is declining. The march is viewed as a strategic effort to demonstrate coalition strength ahead of the 2027 assembly elections.
