“We will go to Karauli at any cost. We will go there peacefully. If they arrest us, let them.” Surya said to the crowd.
The BJP has planned to hold a protest march in Karauli calling it ‘Nyay Yatra’. BJP leaders have stated that the Congress government in Rajasthan has failed to maintain law and order in the state.
“Section 144 is not in place where we are now. It’s our constitutional right to go to Karauli. This dictatorial govt is snatching our rights, which is why we are protesting,” Surya stated.

“Karauli riots indicate clear lawlessness in Rajasthan. The deliberate attempt to disturb Ram Navami Shobha yatra & the unwillingness of the congress govt to act against the aggressors is deplorable”, Surya had tweeted earlier.
