AAP Calls Sacked Contract Workers to Jantar Mantar on March 1, Targets BJP Government

New Delhi, February 2026: The Aam Aadmi Party has stepped up preparations to raise the voice of contract employees who were removed from their jobs under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. On Sunday, AAP’s Delhi unit president Saurabh Bhardwaj appealed to all dismissed contract workers to gather at Jantar Mantar on March 1.

Bhardwaj said the Aam Aadmi Party will fight on the streets with full strength for the rights and dignity of contract employees. He said the party will raise its voice for bus marshals, Delhi Transport Corporation conductors and drivers, hospital data entry operators, nurses, pharmacists, Mohalla Clinic staff, and other affected workers. “AAP will stand shoulder to shoulder with every brother and sister whose livelihood has been snatched away,” he said.

He added that around 400 employees from DIMS are already with the party, and efforts are underway to reach out to 10,000 bus marshals and nearly 6,000 other contract workers. Bhardwaj alleged that data entry operators who have been working in Delhi government hospitals for the past 10 years are being removed one by one. “We need to show this government our strength in numbers,” he said.

Calling the next 15 days crucial, Bhardwaj said party workers will reach every unemployed contract employee and everyone whose job is under threat. “We have to tell everyone that March 1 is a Sunday, and on that day, all of them must come to Jantar Mantar, having tied up arrangements for their daily bread,” he said.

Bhardwaj warned that if the government does not accept their demands by March 2, the protest will escalate from March 3. “From that day, we will put up a big board outside our homes reading: ‘BJP has taken away my job’,” he said. He added that when neighbours, relatives, and people from the locality see such boards, BJP leaders will not be able to enter those lanes to seek votes. “People will ask how the BJP can come asking for votes after taking away their jobs,” Bhardwaj said.
