Upen Yadav, president of the federation, said, "Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot met us several times but our problems remain unresolved. Through this demonstration, we intend to bring our plight to the notice of Priyanka Gandhi and hoping that she will do the needful. So we walked all the way from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh to raise our issues," Yadav added.
