Lucknow: In view of the crucial 2022 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, ruling BJP has decided to bring out six yatras from different corners of the state which will cover the entire 403 assembly segments.
The first yatra would start from December 7 next. All the yatras would be led by senior leaders including BJP national president J. P. Nadda, Union Home minister Amit Shah, Defence minister, Rajnath Singh and others. The decision was taken in the election steering committee of BJP held at the state party HQ on Tuesday.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who attended the meeting along with central election in-charge of UP and union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, announced that six yatras would be brought out by the party from next month.

In this it has been decided that six yatras will be taken out from six corners of the state. The target of these yatras is to reach the population of 25 crores in a given time,” he said.
The Chief Minister said these yatras would end in Lucknow.
