Bjp Rath Yatra In West Bengal

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday mocked BJP leaders for travelling on raths "as if they are gods", and alleged that their political agenda is to create division in society on the basis of religion.

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan today said that the change in government in West Bengal is "inevitable" and the BJP's Rath Yatra in the state may strengthen the process.

The Trinamool Congress and the BJP have been locked in a bitter verbal exchange over the JP Nadda-led party's planned Rath Yatra in Nabadwip in Nadia district of West Bengal. The BJP has now called it a "Parivartan Yatra", and said it is the media that has been calling the event Rath Yatra.

The BJP's rath yatra in West Bengal, to be flagged off by party chief JP Nadda tomorrow, has run into a controversy. Not because permission has been denied, but because it has been granted. The Trinamool Youth Congress in Nadia district, where the BJP's parivartan rath yatra is to roll, has announced they too will hold a two-day janasamarthan yatra...

Till now, roadshows were the BJP's big campaign tool in Bengal - leaders atop an open truck bedecked with marigolds travelling short distances. But the party is now stepping on the gas in the race for the Bengal assembly and deploying the chariot.
