Talking to NewsClick, Jagmati Sangwan, a veteran activist of the women's movement in the state who played an instrumental role in bringing women into the agitation, said, "What is remarkable about this government is that you need to mobilise people every time to remind them about our issues. We first hold meetings and agitations to seek their attention, then hold dharnas again to compel their commitment and finally ask them to act on their promises.
The news about the protests has been pouring in from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat and Kerala.
