The yatra aimed to honour the valour of Indian soldiers and inform citizens about Operation Sindoor’s recent success. BJP’s ‘Tiranga Yatra’, which was started today, will continue till May 23.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, along with BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva and other senior leaders and workers joined the yatra.The campaign kicked off in Delhi with a symbolic march featuring a 108-foot-tall national flag. The yatra began at Kartavya Path and will conclude at the National War Memorial, with thousands, including BJP workers, citizens, NGOs, RWAs, religious leaders, and social organisations gathered to pay tribute to the armed forces.

Through the Tiranga Yatra, the BJP aims to remind citizens of India’s resolute stand against terrorism and to foster a deeper sense of nationalism and unity across the country.
