In a high-stakes outreach across West Bengal, BJP’s ambitious ‘Parivartan Yatra’ is poised to traverse over 5,000 kilometers, engaging more than 1 crore citizens in a clarion call for regime change. Launching simultaneously from nine divisions on March 5, the campaign will blanket 230+ assembly segments, hammering home grievances against corruption, anarchy, and joblessness.
Kicking off from Siliguri, the northern route hits Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri, and Darjeeling, while parallel yatras energize Nabadwip, the 24 Parganas, Howrah-Hooghly, Medinipur, Purulia, and Bardhaman. Prelude events with mass gatherings on March 1-2 set the stage for the main six-day drive, clocking 100 km per day on average.
Spectacular elements define the marches: a lead float flanked by eight themed displays and thundering bike rallies. Each day promises 10 reception events and a blockbuster public meeting, culminating in 64 mega rallies and 280+ welcomes. Top BJP brass will join local drives, turning the yatra into a cultural extravaganza highlighting Bengal’s traditions.
The party’s indictment is scathing – West Bengal groans under Rs 8 lakh crore debt, sapped by syndicated extortion, violent loot, and political murders post-elections. Women’s security hangs by a thread amid RG Kar and Sandeshkhali atrocities, fueling demands for ‘Paltaano Dorkaar, Chai BJP Sarkar’ (Time for Change, Bring BJP Government).
This isn’t just a political march; it’s a festival of resolve, weaving folk culture with hard-hitting critiques to rally the masses against economic ruin and lawlessness. As yatras converge, they aim to forge an unbreakable voter coalition poised to reshape Bengal’s future.
