With the crucial Assembly elections in West Bengal scheduled later this year, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will flag off the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Parivartan Yatra’ programme from South 24 Parganas district on March 1, marking the formal launch of the party’s statewide campaign initiative.
As per the schedule finalised so far, the first ‘Parivartan Yatra’ will begin from the Raidighi Assembly constituency in South 24 Parganas district on the morning of March 1, where HM Shah will formally inaugurate the programme and address party workers and supporters.
According to a BJP state committee member, four other parallel ‘Parivartan Yatras’ will be flagged off simultaneously on the same day from four different Assembly constituencies across the state. These include Cooch Behar Dakshin in Cooch Behar district, Krishnanagar Dakshin in Nadia district, Kulti in West Burdwan district, and Garbeta in West Midnapore district.
On March 2, Union Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will flag off another ‘Parivartan Yatra’ from the Sandeshkhali Assembly constituency in North 24 Parganas district.
