Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, along with the BJP stalwart B. S. Yediyurappa, would start ‘Jana Sankalpa Yatra’ in at least 50 Assembly constituencies in poll-bound Karnataka from Raichur on Tuesday.
The yatra is coinciding with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', which would go on in the State till October 20.
“The Chief Minister, along with former CM Yediyurappa, will start the Jana Sankalpa Yatra (JSY) on Tuesday from Raichur. The yatra with gaps will continue till December 25. During this period, the two leaders will cover 50 Assembly segments,” a BJP office-bearer said.
The present tour from Raichur would be for three days and after a gap it would start again from a different location, he added.
According to him, the next three days would see the Chief Minister on a whirlwind tour.
Mr. Bommai would leave for Ballari on Tuesday morning, from where he would reach Raichur in the afternoon to take part in the yatra.
In the next three days, he would have yatra-related events in Maski in Raichur, Kushtagi in Koppal, Hoovinahadagali and Hospet, the district headquarters town of Vijayanagara, and Siriguppa in Ballari district.
