Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 31 launched the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) campaign for the Lok Sabha election in Rajasthan with a massive road show in Sikar. Mr. Shah, who arrived in Jaipur on a two-day visit, earlier held a meeting of party leaders and cluster in-charges of five Lok Sabha constituencies in Jaipur.
Accompanied by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma and BJP candidate Swami Sumedhanand, Mr. Shah participated in the roadshow in an open jeep, while a large number of chariots, bands, horses, camels, and decorated vehicles carrying tableaux and pictures of senior party leaders, followed his vehicle in the procession.
The roadshow began from the Shri Kalyan temple and passed through New Dujod Gate, Ghantaghar, and Jat Bazaar, and culminated at Tapriya Bagichi, covering a distance of about two kilometres in over an hour. BJP workers showered flowers at Mr. Shah’s vehicle and raised slogans in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other party leaders. Mr. Shah greeted the people and waved at them on the route.
