Chitradurga district unit Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president K.S.

‘Stable government’
“The BJP leaders have a target of 150 Assembly seats to win in the coming Assembly elections and ensure a stable government for the people,” he added.

Leaders attending the yatra would be urged to invite Mr. Narendra Modi to the district in the coming days, so that a permanent solution can be found to the problem.
Party workers and supporters have been instructed to make preparations for the yatra on January 10 by distributing pamphlets and putting up banners to create awareness among the people, he added.
