Adivasi Nyay Yatra in Gujarat gains public support as AAP leaders highlight Chaitar Vasava’s case, tribal rights and issues faced by Ukai Dam displaced families.
The Adivasi Nyay Yatra, organised in support of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Dediapada MLA Chaitar Vasava, is receiving an encouraging response from tribal communities across Gujarat. On the fourth day of the march, AAP leaders held a press conference in Kukarmunda, located near the Tapi-Narmada district border, highlighting tribal rights, land ownership issues and the difficulties faced by families displaced by the Ukai Dam project.
The Adivasi Nyay Yatra has been organised to express solidarity with Chaitar Vasava and raise concerns over what the party describes as injustice against the tribal leader. AAP representatives said the journey has received considerable public support, with villagers welcoming participants and expressing solidarity with the campaign for tribal rights.
AAP Leaders Address Press Conference in Kukarmunda
The press conference was attended by Shakuntalaben Vasava and Varshaben Vasava, wives of Chaitar Vasava, along with AAP Gujarat Mahila Morcha president Payal Sakariya, state vice-president Rajubhai Valvai, Chhota Udepur district president Radhika Rathwa and state organisation secretary Niranjan Vasava.
Speaking to reporters, AAP state vice-president Rajubhai Valvai said the march began in Umargam on the 24th and passed through Tapi district before entering Narmada district. According to him, the campaign has attracted a positive response from tribal communities in the regions it has crossed.
Valvai alleged that the BJP-led government had pursued a political conspiracy against Chaitar Vasava because of his efforts to raise issues affecting tribal communities. He also referred to the seven-year sentence imposed on the MLA and described the situation as unjust. These allegations reflect the AAP leaders’ position on the case.
The party said the Adivasi Nyay Yatra aims to bring attention to constitutional rights and the protection of Jal, Jangal and Jameen — water, forests and land — which remain central concerns for many tribal communities.
Ukai Dam Displaced Families Face Land Ownership Challenges
One of the key issues raised during the press conference was the condition of approximately 16,000 families displaced by the Ukai Dam project.
Rajubhai Valvai alleged that many families continue to face difficulties securing legal ownership rights over their land, despite having received land-related documents. He said residents have been making repeated visits to government offices in an effort to obtain the necessary land records and ownership documentation.
The AAP leader also highlighted electricity shortages in several villages, claiming that some residents still depend on solar power or kerosene to meet their basic energy needs.
According to the party, the problems faced by displaced families have remained unresolved for decades. The leaders called for government intervention to address land ownership disputes, improve electricity access and provide essential facilities to affected communities.
They further questioned whether development projects had adequately considered the long-term welfare of the tribal families who were forced to leave their original homes.

March to Reach Ambaji on November 3
The Adivasi Nyay Yatra is scheduled to reach Ambaji, the prominent pilgrimage destination associated with Mata Amba, on November 3. AAP leaders have also announced a public gathering in Gandhinagar on November 4.
The party has appealed to tribal communities from across Gujarat to participate in the proposed gathering in large numbers. The event is expected to provide a platform for raising demands concerning land rights, public services, displacement and the development of tribal areas.
Shakuntalaben Vasava also addressed the gathering, expressing concern over the development challenges faced by tribal communities. She stated that despite the country’s substantial tribal population, many communities continue to struggle for adequate development and the resolution of longstanding demands.
She warned that if the government failed to address these issues, the campaign would continue to grow and the demands of tribal communities would be raised more prominently in Gandhinagar.
Varshaben Vasava Says Public Support Has Strengthened Their Resolve
Varshaben Vasava spoke emotionally about the response the march has received from villagers. She said tribal men, women and elderly residents have welcomed the participants warmly whenever the journey passes through their villages.
According to her, the affection and encouragement shown by local communities have strengthened the morale of the family and other campaign participants.
Varshaben emphasised that the struggle for tribal rights, dignity and identity would continue. She said the support received from the people has encouraged them to remain committed to the cause despite the challenges.
The Adivasi Nyay Yatra has consequently become an important political campaign for AAP in Gujarat, combining support for Chaitar Vasava with demands relating to tribal welfare and displacement-related grievances.
Tribal Rights and Gandhinagar Gathering in Focus
As the march progresses through Gujarat, AAP leaders are continuing to highlight issues concerning land ownership, electricity, displacement and access to basic facilities. The party maintains that these concerns require greater government attention and concrete solutions.
The upcoming programme in Ambaji on November 3 and the proposed Gandhinagar gathering on November 4 are expected to be significant milestones in the campaign.
With tribal rights and the challenges faced by displaced families at the centre of its message, the Adivasi Nyay Yatra is seeking to bring these concerns to the wider public and increase pressure for action on longstanding demands.
