Poriborton Yatra: A Political March for Change in West Bengal

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday emphasized the transformative potential of the BJP's 'Poriborton Yatra' to unseat the Mamata Banerjee regime in West Bengal. Speaking before launching the campaign from Paschim Medinipur district, Pradhan criticized the TMC government for alleged demographic manipulation, accusing them of attempting to turn West Bengal into "West Bangladesh."

The 'Poriborton Yatra', he claimed, could fulfill the long-awaited change anticipated since the end of the left's 34-year rule in 2011. According to Pradhan, the establishment of a BJP 'double-engine' government would resume halted development, foster economic growth, and ensure safety for women in the state.

Despite past BJP initiatives failing to gain traction, the party aims to connect with 1-1.5 crore citizens across 294 constituencies through nine Poriborton yatras starting from various locations, culminating in a rally at Brigade Parade Ground, potentially attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The event also seeks to convert booth-level organization into tangible public engagement, as observed party leaders have stated.
