Ahead of Karnataka polls, Amit Shah connects with BJP youth

Home minister Amit Shah on Friday rallied the youth wing of BJP with the launch of a key programme from Bengaluru, marking an early start to the party's election campaign in Karnataka which goes to the polls in a year.

The Bharat Darshan programme, for familiarising yuva morcha functionaries with the richness and diversity of India, also puts the spotlight on the youth wing's president Tejasvi Surya.

The Bharat Darshan began on Friday from Bengaluru and will last for four days. It is only befitting that such a programme is launched by Amit Shah, under whom India is a lot safer and all parts of the country are truly integrated into this historical civilization, Surya said.


"Bharat is much more than a geographical region. It is a fusion of emotions, cultures and millions of people with diverse traditions and sentiments. To serve the country in the true sense, it is very important to understand and feel our country first," he added. "The BJYM functionaries will also get an opportunity to visit the biggest developmental projects of the various states of the country, see places of historical significance and engage in discussions with startups, entrepreneurs, cottage industries and farmer organisations. This will help BJYM cadre experience and understand the unity in diversity of our country. The Yuva Morcha functionaries are mainly from mandal and district levels," the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha said.
