The yatre from four different directions across the poll-bound State, in specially designed vehicles or “Rathas”, will be launched by the party’s Central leaders in the next couple of days.

He said, the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is marching ahead with strength and he has changed the political dimension of the country from “casteism, vote bank and dynasty politics”, to taking everyone together with a moto ‘sabka-saath-sabka-vikas-sabka-vishwas-sabka-prayas’ (Together, for everyone’s growth, with everyone’s trust).
Highlighting that the country is today the fifth largest economy overtaking the British, Nadda spoke about the nation’s progress in pharma, mobile and automobile, among other sectors.
The BJP government under Modi has worked for the development of all sections of the society especially the poor and downtrodden, he said, adding that today several prominent positions in the country are occupied by personalities from the SC/ST community, and President of India Droupadi Murmu belongs to the tribal community.
There has been a 190 per cent increase in the tribal budget under the BJP government at the Centre, the party president said, as he spoke about setting up Ekalavya Vidyalaya in tribal areas, and other schemes and programmes for the betterment of the tribal community, including opening of the Tribal Research Centres.
“I want to assure that under Modi, with Yediyurappa’s blessings and Bommai’s efforts we will bring changes in the lives and livelihood of the people here,” he said.
While Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is scheduled to flag off second yatre on March 2 from Nandagad in Belagavi district, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is slated to launch the third and fourth yatres that will start from Basavakalyana in Bidar district and Avathy in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, on March 3, in the morning and afternoon, respectively.
According to party leaders, more than 50 state and national leaders will take part in this campaign, which will cover all 31 districts and 224 constituencies of the State, where elections are due by May.
The tours will cover 8,000 km, along which the party has planned over 80 rallies, 74 public meetings and about 150 road shows, they said, adding that it is expected to “touch” about four crore people.
The 20 days yatre will culminate with a mega rally in the district headquarters town of Davangere on March 25 which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The yatre that will begin from four different places will consist of 10-12 leaders in each of them.

The drone show will be organised by Botlabs Dynamics.
For the first time, a 3D anamorphic projection will be organised during Beating Retreat Ceremony on the facade of the North and South Block.
The ceremony will begin with the massed band’s ‘Agniveer’ tune which will be followed by enthralling tunes like ‘Almora’, ‘Kedar Nath, ‘Sangam Dur’, ‘Queen of Satpura’, ‘Bhagirathi’, ‘Konkan Sundari’ by Pipes and Drums band, said the Defence Ministry statement.

The ‘Beating the Retreat’ ceremony at the Vijay Chowk on January 29 every year marks the culmination of the four-day-long Republic Day celebrations. It has emerged as an event of national pride when the Colours and Standards are paraded.
The ceremony traces its origins to the early 1950s when Major Roberts of the Indian Army indigenously developed the unique ceremony of display by the massed bands.
It marks a centuries-old military tradition when the troops ceased fighting, sheathed their arms and withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the camps at sunset at the sound of the Retreat. Colours and Standards are cased and flags are lowered. The ceremony creates nostalgia for the times gone by.
Hyderabad: Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda often hit the headlines for their dating rumours. While the two have rubbished the speculations of their link-up multiple times, insiders have always maintained that there was more than just a friendship there.
Rashmika’s presence during Vijay’s intimate family functions or even during his family holiday in Goa last year fueled discussions about their romance. Recently, it was even said that both of them welcomed the new year together in Maldives. Fans went gaga over their photos from the same locations and shipped them once again. While their relationship gossip kept surfacing online, neither Rashmika nor Vijay confirmed the same.
And now, Rashmika has finally broken her silence on all these reports and even confirmed that she was on a trip with Vijay. Once again addressing him as her ‘best friend’, she clearly stated that she is not dating Vijay.
During her recent conversation with journalist Prema, she said, “Vijay and I are very good friends, and there’s nothing more to it than that. Why shouldn’t two good friends go on a vacation together. We don’t have anything more than friendship between us”.
Apart from this she also spoke about the social media hate that she has been constantly receiving.
On the professional front, Rashmika Mandanna was last seen in Mission Majnu beside Sidharth Malhotra and Varisu. She has another Bollywood movie Animal in her kitty.
