Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally: "The public will avenge each of my 108 days in jail", his roar in Saurashtra

Rajkot/Junagadh: The battle for local self-government elections in Gujarat has now reached the point of bloody politics and saving democracy. Thus, the Aam Aadmi Party has started a vigorous campaign of ‘Victory Trust Rallies’ to breach the BJP’s fortresses. On April 17, Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally was held in Mangrol and Keshad of Junagadh district and Upleta of Rajkot district. In this rally, Pravin Ram launched sharp attacks on the ruling party, stating that it is not a government but ‘goonda raj’ (rule of thugs) that is currently running in Gujarat.

Murder of Democracy: Attack on the game of making 700 seats uncontested

Addressing the crowd at the rally, Pravin Ram thundered that while the right to decide who wins the election belongs to the public, the BJP has snatched away the very right to vote from the people. During Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally, he made a serious allegation that on more than 700 seats, by adopting a policy of coercion, inducement, punishment, and division, the nomination forms of candidates have been withdrawn.

He raised the question, “Who are you to decide even before the public votes?” Stating that the protector has become the predator, he added that today the police, instead of shutting down liquor dens, are working as agents of the BJP to get candidates’ forms withdrawn. Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally proved that even in this atmosphere of fear, Aam Aadmi Party workers are standing firm.

The public demanding an account of 108 days of jail and torture

Becoming emotional in his address, Pravin Ram stated that while fighting for the rights of farmers and the common people, he spent 108 days in jail. During this time, the government subjected him to unbearable physical and mental torture. In Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally, he roared, “The public will now avenge this torture of mine.” He appealed to the people that in the upcoming election, by pressing the button on the broom symbol, BJP’s arrogance should be broken.

He also targeted Congress, saying that Congress is no longer capable and every vote given to it is akin to being wasted. Thousands of people present at Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally raised their hands and pledged to get the Aam Aadmi Party elected with a thumping majority.

Key Highlights of the Rally:

A show of strength amidst crowds of thousands in Mangrol, Keshad, and Upleta.

Exposure of BJP’s attempts to finish democracy.

Statement that voting for Congress is like directly benefiting the BJP.

Strategy to corner the government on farmers’ issues and the Ecozone matter.

Strong Messages from the Victory Trust Rally:

The ground resonated with the slogan: "Make the BJP flee, this time it’s time for a broom sweep."

A call to vote for your property and the future of the next 17 generations.

An appeal to make the broom victorious for a fearless Gujarat.

According to ground reports, after Pravin Ram’s Victory Trust Rally, anger against the BJP is clearly visible in the rural areas of Saurashtra. A picture is emerging as if the public has now taken to the field to save democracy.
