As the tussle for assembly seats intensifies in Karnataka ahead of the elections, the BJP has decided to embark upon Rath Yatra, to counter Congress’ ongoing Bus Yatra and JD(S)’ Pancharatna Yatra.

National leaders and Union ministers will participate in the yatra in several locations, they added. Three in-charges have been appointed for the Rath Yatra of four teams. The responsibility of organising the convention of the morchas has been given to the team of former CM Yeddyurappa’s son, BJP Vice President B.Y.Vijayendra
