The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party’s Parivartan Yatras, launched from four corners of Rajasthan earlier this month, have entered the final phase before a rally to be addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Jaipur on September 25. The first leg of the yatra concluded here on Tuesday with the claimants to the party tickets turning up with a large number of their supporters.
After the yatra’s inauguration in Sawai Madhopur with the obeisance paid at Trinetra Ganesh temple in Ranthambhore Fort, the march traversed through 47 Assembly constituencies in eastern Rajasthan before culminating in Jaipur. The three other places of origin of the yatras were Beneshwar Dham in Dungarpur, Ramdevra in Jaisalmer and Gogamedi temple in Hanumangarh.
Though there were some regions where the yatras received good response from the public, a large portion of the journey remained unimpressive, with a low turnout at the public meetings and lack of enthusiasm visible among the party workers. The yatra’s first leg was welcomed in Jaipur by the ticket seekers who wanted to show their strength.
