The Jan Chetna Yatra, which began from Sitabdiara in Bihar, the native village of Sri Jayaprakash Narayan, on October 11, has concluded today after travelling through the 22 states and 5 union territories.
It culminated in a mammoth rally at the Ramlila ground today which was attended by top leaders of BJP & NDA. The large turn-out, rivaling any other that this ground has ever seen, turned the rally into a grand finale to this extremely successful yatra.
Sri Advani ji himself has called the Jan chetna yatra as the most successful of all his yatras, so far. But for the lacs of workers and supporters in the country who probably witnessed this as their first yatra, it was a memorable experience which was unprecedented in scale and effect.
While media feigned ignorance and pretended as if nothing was happening, a semblance of a revolution took shape in the country’s hinterland where the common man came forward on his own and joined the crusade against corruption. There was unity of purpose, of a goal, of an India that is free of corruption. read more…
