Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a campaign marathon from today in four poll-bound states starting from the concluding ceremony of ‘Parivartan Yatras’ of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur. The PM will address the ‘Parivartan Mahasankalp’ rally here, which would be his third visit to the Congress-ruled. State BJP chief Arun Sao said that the rally is being organised to culminate two Parivartan Yatras, at Science College ground here at 2 pm, reported PTI.
The saffron party had taken out two Parivartan Yatras in the state — first from Dantewada (south Chhattisgarh) on September 12, and the second one was rolled out from Jashpur (north Chhattisgarh) on September 15, Rao was quoted as saying by PTI. He said that both the yatras witnessed 83 ‘Swagat Sabhas’ (welcome gatherings), four roadshows and various public meetings before culminating at Bilaspur. The BJP leader said that the yatra covered a distance of more than 3,000 km across 87 assembly segments (out of the total 90).
