The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) will launch four ‘Parivartan Yatras’ from four corners of Rajasthan, beginning this week-end, ahead of this year’s State Assembly election, covering all the 200 constituencies and traversing a distance of 8,982 kilometres. The party’s central leaders are going to launch the four yatras.
The BJP’s move assumes significance for internal politics of the party, as a collective leadership is expected to be in the limelight during the election campaign, rather than a single face being projected as the leader. None of the State leaders, including BJP State president C.P. Joshi, will be in the front and no aspirant for the Chief Minister’s post will get a weightage, according to the sources in the party.
BJP national president J.P. Nadda will flag off the first yatra from Trinetra Ganesh temple in Sawai Madhopur on September 2. It will culminate in Jaipur after covering 47 Assembly seats in eastern Rajasthan. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will flag off the yatra from Dungarpur on September 3, while his Cabinet colleagues Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari will launch the two subsequent yatras from Jaisalmer and Hanumangarh.
