 PM Modi will attend the BJP's Parivartan Yatra's closing ceremony in Chhattisgarh, which is in the midst of elections

A BJP source has announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in the closing ceremony of two "Parivartan Yatras" that the party has planned in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, in advance of the 2019 elections in the state.

On Saturday, a party leader announced that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would attend the closing ceremony of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) two "Parivartan Yatras" held in the poll-bound Chhattisgarh city of Bilaspur.

In the past three months, PM Modi led three trips to the state, which is governed by the Congress and has assembly elections scheduled for the end of the year. According to state BJP chief Arun Sao, the prime minister would speak at the 'Parivartan Mahasankalp' rally, the conclusion of two Parivartan Yatras, on the grounds of the Science College here at 2:00 pm.

According to him, the second Parivartan Yatra was launched from Jashpur in north Chhattisgarh on September 15 while the first one left Dantewada in south Chhattisgarh on September 12. Before reaching their conclusion in Bilaspur, both yatras covered a distance of more than 3,000 km over 87 assembly segments (out of the total 90), he claimed, and included 83 'Swagat Sabhas' (welcome gatherings), four roadshows, and several public meetings.The Maoist-affected districts of Bijapur, Sukma, and Antagarh are not on the schedule, although residents from these districts participated in the yatra when it went through their neighboring districts.

The party officials and employees' spirits were unaffected by the rain, he claimed, and they joyfully took part in the two yatras, which attracted a sizable crowd. The two yatras, in which almost 50 lakh people participated, turned the wave of change into a storm, according to Sao, who expressed confidence that the Congress would lose the 2019 elections.

The program's location has been heavily fortified with security, according to the police. There will be a deployment of 1,500 security personnel from the police, Special Protection Group (SPG), Chhattisgarh Armed Forces, National Security the military, and Home Guard.

The Congress delivered the BJP, which had been in power for 15 years under Raman Singh, a crushing loss in the 2018 assembly elections. The BJP had only won 15 seats, while the Congress had won 68. There are 71 seats in the current Congress.Even though the Election Commission of India (ECI) has yet to determine the timetable for the forthcoming assembly elections, which are scheduled for later this year, the saffron party revealed its first list of candidates for 21 seats last month that it had lost to the Congress in the last elections.
