BJP's Parivartan Yatra begins in West Bengal, with PM Modi's mega Kolkata rally on March 15 marking its conclusion ahead of state elections.

"Finally, the 'Parivartan Yatra' will officially end with the Prime Minister's rally - BJP state committee member"

Kolkata, March 1

Amid the forthcoming Assembly elections in West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a mega rally at Brigade Parade Ground in central Kolkata on March 15.

The mega rally will also mark the end of the "Parivartan Yatra" by the West Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that started on Sunday. Nine separate rallies will start from nine locations in the state on Sunday and Monday.

However, there will be no rallies on March 3 and March 4, because of the 'Dol Yatra' festival on March 3 and the 'Holi' festival on March 4. The rallies will start again on March 5 and will be completed after covering all 294 Assembly constituencies in the state.

"Finally, the 'Parivartan Yatra' will officially end with the Prime Minister's rally at Brigade Parade Ground on March 15. However, the programme is subject to last-minute changes from the Prime Minister's Office," a state committee member of the BJP said.

Meanwhile, Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah will be present at the beginning of one of the nine rallies at Raidighi in South Parganas district on Monday. Initially, the Raidighi rally was scheduled on Sunday. However, later it was postponed to Monday.

It is not yet clear whether HM Shah will also be present at the Brigade Parade Ground rally on March 15, where the principal speaker will be the Prime Minister.

Several other heavyweight central leaders of the BJP, including members of the Union Cabinet, are scheduled to participate in the proposed "Parvartan Yatra". They include Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, BJP national president Nitin Nabin, Union Minister J.P. Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, Union Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, former Union Minister Smriti Irani, and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, among others.

The sheer number of central leaders coming to Bengal shows how important this election is for the national political landscape. But as a voter, I'm more interested in what concrete plans they have for unemployment and infrastructure here. Rallies are fine, but we need a vision. 🤔

Parivartan is needed, no doubt. But this feels like an invasion from Delhi. Bengal has its own identity and issues. I hope local BJP leaders get to speak more than these visiting "heavyweights". Change should be organic, not imposed from the top.

Interesting to follow from abroad. The scheduling around festivals is a smart move. PM Modi's rally at Brigade Ground will be huge, it's a historic venue. Hope the election is fought on development and not divisive politics. Bengal deserves better.

Covering all 294 constituencies is a massive logistical task. Shows they are serious. But ultimately, Didi has a strong ground game. It will be a very tough fight. May the best team win! 🇮🇳

As a young professional in Kolkata, I want to hear about job creation, investment in tech, and improving public services. I'm tired of the same old political rhetoric every election cycle. Hope this 'Parivartan' brings a fresh, issue-based debate.
