BJP's 'Vijaya Yatra' in Kerala starts today

May 31, 2016 08:27

The Bharatiya Janata Party will on Tuesday launch a three-day state-level 'Vijaya Yatra' from Kannur district, celebrating the election of former Union minister O Rajagopal, its first ever MLA in Kerala.

Rajagopal helped the BJP open its account in Kerala by winning the Neamom seat with a margin of 8,671 votes, defeating nearest CPI-M candidate V Sivankutty in the May 16 Assembly Elections.

The yatra is aimed at making the victory a grand event.

It would commence from Payyambalam in Kannur and party workers would give reception to Rajagopal at various centres before the Yatra reaches Thiruvananthapuram on June 2, the day new elected MLAs would take oath, the party leaders said.
