Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, is set to lead a 'Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra' in Lucknow on Tuesday, marching from his official residence to the state Assembly over the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha.  
The march, covering a distance of around 1.75 kilometres, is expected to begin shortly and will see the participation of Cabinet ministers, BJP leaders, and hundreds of women supporters.

The protest has been organised to express strong political opposition to the Bill’s defeat over being linked to delimitation and the 2011 Census. BJP leaders are alleging that the setback has hurt women’s representation rights. The padyatra is being projected as a demonstration of “women’s anger,” with the ruling alliance asserting that the issue will have long-term political consequences.
