BJP to take out ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatra’

 

 

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will take out Savarkar Gaurav Yatra throughout the State to connect with new generation and reach out to them with the thoughts and ideals of the great freedom fighter. The yatra will start on March 30, on Ramnavami, and culminate on April 6, the foundation day of BJP. Also, the yatra will traverse through all 288 Assembly segments in Maharashtra, informed Chandrashekhar Bawankule, President, BJP, State unit, while interacting with mediapersons on Tuesday in city. The national party will tie up with its State partner, the Shiv Sena, in the yatra as both Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister themselves will lead one segment respectively.

The yatra is a counter to ongoing slander on part of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in particular and Congress Party in general. The entire party machinery will be galvanised for the yatra and reach out to 11 crore people of Maharashtra and share the great work done by Savarkar. Gandhi has little idea as to who and what Savarkar stands for and BJP will ensure that people realise the worth of one of the greatest freedom fighters the nation has ever seen. At the media interaction, Bawankule chose to launch broadside against former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray for joining hands with Congress Party.

Accusing Thackeray of double speak, he reminded the former about the stand once Balasaheb Thackeray took to counter Congress leaders’ misdemeanor and said, same action is needed on part of them if they are sincere about their feelings about Savarkar. Bawankule said, he will be leading one of the yatras and for each region, announced the leaders who have been entrusted responsibility of co-ordination. For East Vidarbha region, Pravin Datke and Vijay Rahangdale have been entrusted the task of co-ordination with local units and Assembly segment workers to ensure success of the yatra. Similarly, in the West Vidarbha Region, the co-ordinating work will be helmed by Sanjay Kute and Randhir Savarkar.
