West Bengal’s political arena heats up with BJP’s announcement of the ‘Parivartan Yatra’, spearheaded by leader Dilip Ghosh from Kharagpur. Aimed at the assembly elections, this extensive foot march embodies the public’s demand for governance overhaul.
‘It’s a journey dedicated to change, resonating with Bengal’s aspirations,’ Ghosh told reporters. From grassroots workers to central leadership, the yatra unites the party in spreading PM Modi’s transformative pledge.
Route details reveal a comprehensive coverage: Starting Siliguri, it links Cooch Behar through Darjeeling hills, then dives into Nabadweep, the 24 Parganas, industrial belts of Howrah-Hooghly, and extends to Medinipur, Purulia, and Bardhaman. Coordinated launches across divisions feature mega rallies on March 1 and 2, followed by a week-long push from March 5, traversing roughly 100 km daily.
Ghosh didn’t shy from global woes, voicing alarm at Iran-Israel hostilities. ‘Ongoing global conflicts are bad enough; this during holy Ramadan is tragic. Calls for de-escalation are urgent,’ he noted.
Domestically, he targeted voter list manipulations, alleging TMC’s fake voter empires. ‘SIR process will evict the dead and duplicates, particularly in TMC wins,’ Ghosh vowed, framing it as BJP’s commitment to transparent polls.
More than logistics, the yatra symbolizes BJP’s resurgence in Bengal, blending local grievances with national promises. It positions the party as the agent of parivartan, poised to sway undecided voters in a polarized state.
