As part of its preparations for the Assembly elections due by the end of this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party will launch two Parivartan Yatras (tours for change) in Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh, starting September 12.
Both the yatras will cover a distance of 2,989 km across 87 Assembly constituencies during which the party will raise issues against the Bhupesh Baghel government.
As has been the format of this outreach programmes in two other States – Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh — where similar Yatras [the names vary according to the BJP’s role as Opposition or ruling party in that State] are in progress, senior national leaders will flag off the event at Jashpur and Dantewada, situated in the tribal belts of Sarguja and Bastar, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a public event in Bilaspur in Central Chhattisgarh.
