CONG FLAGS OFF YATRA TO COUNTER MP CM’S CAMPAIGN

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh Congress president Kamal Nath flagged off the ‘Jan Jagaran’ yatra from Tarana, situated some 35 km from Ujjain, to counter chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s Jan Ashirvad Yatra that started on July 14. State Congress working president Jitu Patwari is leading the yatra, which is part of the ‘Pol Khol Abhiyan’, that will touch all the places where the CM is taking his campaign. Assembly elections are slated for November. Hitting out at the CM, Nath said, “It is not a Jan Ashirvad Yatra but a ‘Vidayi’ (good bye) Yatra that the chief minister is taking out because this time the people have decide to send him back home and they have become aware of the fake promises and announcement of the Chouhan government.”
