Bengaluru: Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) 75-day long Nava Karnataka Parivartana Yatra, to be launched by BJP national president Amit Shah on November 2, will culminate with a massive rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru on January 28 next year.
Around three lakh BJP activists from 114 assembly constituencies in southern Karnataka are expected to participate in the rally for the launch of the Yatra in Bengaluru.
“More than one lakh two-wheelers are expected to be part of the proposed bike rally as part of the launch of the Yatra,” BJP State General Secretary Shobha Karandlaje told reporters here on Monday.
Speaking to media persons after the launch of the Logo for the Yatra along with union minister DV Sadananda Gowda and BJP State President BS Yeddyurappa, Shobha said, the Yatra which has been divided into two segments would have a similar launch in Hubballi covering northern Karnataka districts on December 21.
The 7500km yatra is the longest being undertaken by the BJP would see top BJP National leaders including Shah, Modi and Chief Ministers of BJP ruled states and many union ministers apart from all the state leaders visiting all the 224 assembly constituencies and addressing hundreds of rallies as part of the party’s ‘Mission 150’ to win the 2018 Assembly elections.
“It will be the mother of all the rallies and yatras the country has seen as the party workers would arrive in bikes. A special bus, (the campaign Rath) is being readied for the Yatra,” state BP president Yeddyurappa added.
The Yatra would touch at least three assembly segments every day with big public meetings in each of the constituencies. Yeddyurappa would also address street corner meetings along the way as the Yatra traverses through villages and taluk centres. Failures of Siddaramaiah government and achievements of Modi government at the Centre and the earlier BJP government in the state would be highlighted during the Yatra.
The Yatra would conclude with a massive public rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bengaluru on January 28, 2018. The venue for the rally would be finalised soon. The Yatra and Modi’s rally would galvanise the electorate of the state to end the “misrule of Siddaramaiah government and bring BJP back to power,” he said.
