BJP Parivarthana Yatra in DK on November 10, 11

The BJP "Nav Karnataka Parivarthana Yatra" will be in Dakshina Kannada for two days from November 10.

Addressing a press meet on Tuesday, BJP district unit president Sanjeeva Matandoor said that six public programmes will be held in the district as a part of the two-day Yatra.

Stating the BJP has sought permission from the police to organise the Yatra, he said, "We are hopeful of getting permission for the Yatra. We are not organising the Yatra against Tipu Jayanti. It is a political programme organised for 75 days by the BJP state unit across Karnataka covering all the 224 Assembly constituencies. We are not holding any communal activities or religious programmes. Hence, we are confident that the permission would not be denied for the Yatra."
