Haryana BJP announces 50-day Rath Yatra from Dec 5 for Lok Sabha polls

A senior BJP leader said, “Dushyant has failed his candidates in Rajasthan. In those constituencies, if BJP candidates lose by thin margins and JJP’s candidates had taken substantial or sizeable votes; it is obvious that JJP would be blamed for BJP candidates’ loss. It is bound to have its impact on the alliance in Haryana because the party would not tolerate its candidate’s loss due to JJP’s contest in Rajasthan”.

To ensure that the party retains all 10 Lok Sabha seats in 2024, the BJP formulated its detailed preparations for this upcoming public-connect programme. The state BJP unit led by newly appointed chief Nayab Saini and chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar held a daylong party-meeting at Panchkula on Friday that was attended by party MPs, MLAs, district presidents and various other top leaders. The state unit of the BJP has planned to rope in its cadre and resources to ensure that this 50-day Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra under the name tag of Viksit Bharat Yatra Jan Samvad is successful.

Using the tagline of “reaching the unreached and learning from the citizens”, Khattar said, “PM Narendra Modi’s Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra has been started which continue till January 26, 2024. The yatra will be conducted at the ward level in municipal corporations, at four to five locations in municipal councils, and at a single venue in municipal committees. The primary goal of this yatra is to effectively communicate government policies to the common man. It aims to showcase the experiences of individuals who have benefited from government initiatives, providing a platform for them to share their stories with the wider public. The Deputy Commissioner and Additional Deputy Commissioner will serve as the nodal officers for this yatra.”

Khattar added that around “Around70-75 specialised modified vehicles fitted with LED screens shall be touring rural and urban areas of the state. The number of vehicles will depend on the frequency of programmes per vehicle can hold. These LED screens will showcase government’s schemes and their benefits for the common people. Those people who have not been able to receive government’s schemes’ benefits due to any issues will also be able to approach specialised-Information Technology Teams that will be with these vehicles. They will be equipped with adequate IT infrastructure. Such people seeking benefit under any central or state government online schemes will be able to get the benefit on the spot.”

“To ensure India gets into the category of developed nations by 2047, the common people will have to undergo a lot of behavioural changes. Every citizen gets connected with the nation and develops a feeling – India first. PM and the Centre have devised a plan and NGOs an d educational institutions will be roped in. Seminars will be conducted to create awareness,” Khattar said, adding that around 7000 such programmes will be held in 50 days.

Nayab Saini said, “The BJP works in a well-planned manner and that is the reason all the policies of the government are implemented on ground. The recent example is when Supreme Court appreciated Haryana government’s stubble-management and reprimanded Punjab government. In today’s meeting, coordinators were appointed and workers were assigned specific duties.”
