COME TO PATNA

RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA------------------------------Public Distribution Vendors of Bihar, my humble request to all of you is that on 15/09/25 the next and final battle for our rights and entitlements has begun, which is being led by our well-wisher Ambika Yadav, who at the age of 80 is sitting on a fast unto death since 05/09/25 at the Gardanibag Dharna Sthal in Patna for the golden future of all of us Public Distribution Shopkeepers. One should not wait for an invitation in the fight for one's rights, the one whose soul is alive will come on his own. I request all you dealer brothers to break all the chains and for the golden future of their children, the dealers of the entire Bihar should unite once against the government and work to strengthen the hands of Ambika Yadav, the source of inspiration for all of us, who has sacrificed everything for our future. Friends, I know that some people will scare and threaten in this, but do not be afraid. Today the time has come to break all those chains and move forward. Who will do what next, see what happens. All India Radio will be organised at various places in the country but I again remind you that on 15/09/25 at 10:00 am, whatever be the circumstances, ensure your presence. This is our last battle and we all have to fight till the last breath until our demands are approved by the government. Brothers, the unity that all of you showed on 22/08/25 was very commendable. It is because of that that the government, out of fear, hurriedly increased the price by Rs 47 and an attempt was made by the government to break our rock solid unity and this act was carried out by people from among us which was a very condemnable and heart-breaking incident because at that time 12 of our comrades became victims of the government's misdeeds and were in jail. Think about who is wishing for your bright future and who is engaged in realising his future dreams. We have nothing to do with any faction. We will strengthen the hands of the one who is trying to steal my future. It is my duty to wake up, to wake up or not to wake up. It is in your hands. As far as I know, dealers have been exploited by showing them the fear of officers. You all should break all the shackles and come out and come forward for your rights. And one more thing, many of our colleagues have crossed the threshold of 60 years. This fight is very important for their children; therefore, I would like to specially request the families of those colleagues that you all should participate enthusiastically and strengthen the morale of the young colleagues by giving your valuable contribution in ensuring their future. Further, you all are intelligent yourself, what is right and what is wrong, I leave it to you all to decide, future or factionalism, choose whichever is right. It is my job to awaken you, stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
