Kashi Vishwanath Corridor: BJP plans one-month celebration in Varanasi, Nadda forms committee for preparation

The BJP has planned to celebrate the inauguration of the newly built Kashi Vishwanath Corridor over a month. Party president JP Nadda has constituted a coordination committee under party general secretary Tarun Chugh to plan and organise several functions from December 13 till January 14, 2022.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate the newly developed corridor to the nation on December 13. The party will put up LED screens at 51,000 spots across the country where the ‘Divya Kashi - Bhavya Kashi’ programme will be telecast live.

Apart from this, big LED screens will be put up in all important temples, ashrams and religious organisations. Arrangements are being made in all the villages in the election-bound Uttar Pradesh to enable people to see live telecast from the Kashi Vishwanath Dham.


The programmes will commence on December 9, when BJP workers will take out ‘prabhat faeries’ (small religious processions) on ‘Divya Kashi - Bhavya Kashi’ in all the districts across the country. For three days from December 10, a cleanliness drive will be organised in all the temples, ashrams and religious places across the country where all elected representatives of the BJP, MLAs, MPs, ministers, chief ministers and deputy chief ministers will take part.

The BJP will also organise ‘deepotsav’ (festival of lights) in every city, town and village. On December 14, the BJP will be organising a conference of all CMs and deputy CMs where PM Modi, party president JP Nadda, Jagat Prakash Nadda and general secretary organisation BL Santosh will take part.

The CMs and deputy CMs will also be on a three-day religious and cultural ‘pravas’ (stay) in Kashi from December 13. On December 17, the Union urban development ministry and UP’s urban development department will organise a conference of mayors in Kashi. On December 23, Modi will address a seminar of agriculture scientists and “progressive farmers” to promote natural and organic agriculture. On January 12, 2022, to mark the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, a youth conference will be organised in Kashi.
