BJP plans ‘kisan yatra’ in Maharashtra

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh will go on a two-day “kisan yatra” covering five districts of Maharashtra from where the maximum number of suicide deaths were reported among farmers.

The “yatra” will start on January 10 from Wardha, Mahatma Gandhi’s ‘ashram’, travel through the districts of Akola, Amravati and Washim before ending the next day with a rally in Yavatmal. Party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar will accompany him and several senior party leaders from Maharashtra — Gopinath Munde, Nitin Gadkari, Eknath Khadse and Pandurang Phundkar — will be present at the rally.
