A 5,000-km grassroots offensive targets TMC’s 15-year stranglehold ahead of assembly elections
The BJP Sunday launched its ‘Paribartan Yatra’ across West Bengal, firing the opening salvo in what promises to be a fiercely contested assembly election battle against Mamata Banerjee’s TMC.
Nine simultaneous marches originating from Cooch Behar, Sandeshkhali, Islampur, and six other districts will traverse all 294 constituencies, covering 5,000 km before converging at a Brigade Parade Ground rally addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party aims to directly engage 1 to 1.5 crore voters through the exercise.
State BJP president Samik Bhattacharya framed the yatra as “the next phase of democratic correction,” invoking the public mood that ended 34 years of Left rule to argue that 15 years of TMC governance now demands a similar reckoning.
The campaign launches days after 63.66 lakh names were deleted from Bengal’s revised electoral rolls a politically charged backdrop neither party can afford to ignore.
