Guwahati: The “Gujarat Gaurav Yatra” was launched today in Ahmedabad as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) pre-election campaigning ahead of the 2019 Gujarat Assembly elections.

Later in the afternoon, the Union Home Minister will make a pilgrimage to the Unai Mata Temple in the Navsari district of Unai to offer prayers before kicking off the Gujarat Gaurav Yatra and the Adivasi Vikas Yatra there.
JP Nadda launched the “Gujarat Gaurav Yatra” earlier on Wednesday in Mehsana. Bhupendra Patel, the chief minister, and other BJP leaders were also present.
Addressing a public rally on the occasion, Nadda said, “BJP is a pro-active, pro-responsible government and pro-responsive government. He said the BJP government understands the plight of the people. What did Congress do for years? Pitted brothers against each other, areas against each other and did not supply water where it was needed. Jo vikas ki yatra chalani thi usko atkaya, bhatkaya, latkaya. Now they themselves are stuck…”
“Gaurav yatra is not just for Gujarat alone, it is a yatra to establish pride of entire India. It’s a matter of fortune that Gujarat is the ‘Gangotri’ of ‘Gaurav Yatra’ to re-establish the nation on the global map, to make it self-reliant, developed.”
The Gujarat Assembly elections are coming up and the BJP is prepared.
