Cong to tailgate MP CM Chouhan’s Jan Ashirvad Yatra

BHOPAL: Congress will trail chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s ‘Jan Ashirvad Yatra’ with its ‘Pol Khol Yatra’ from July 18. As part of their ‘Pol Khol Yatra’, the Congress leaders will reach wherever the CM goes to tell people how the BJP government headed by Chouhan has betrayed them all these years.

With an aim to retain power the fourth time, Chouhan will lead yatra from Ujjain from July 14 to seek blessings of common people. He is expected to cover all the 230 assembly constituencies in different phases in the next two months. The yatra is expected to end in Bhopal on September 25.

However, Congress is planning to “expose” how the state government has miserably failed in delivering the goods on governance front and how it is responsi- ble for various malaises the state is plagued with.

Congress will also begin its yatra from Ujjain. State Congress media in-charge Manak Agarwal said state Congress president Kamal Nath will flag off the party’s ‘Pol Khol Yatra’ on July 18 at Tarana town in Ujjain district.

According to state BJP vicepresident Vijesh Lunawat, BJP national president Amit Shah will flag off the BJP’S Jan Ashirvad Yatra at Ujjain on July 14.

Reacting to the Congress’ plan state BJP vice-president Vijesh Lunawat said, “The Congress’ ‘Pol Khol Yatra’ would in fact expose the groupism and lobbyism in the party and how the Congress leaders were fighting with one another to be projected as the CM face of the party ahead of the elections.”
