Senior party leaders, Members of Parliament, MLAs, and thousands of workers participated in the marches, which were framed around Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign.
North East Delhi Yatra
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari led the North East Delhi Tiranga Yatra from the district office in Yamuna Vihar to Ghonda Chowk. Addressing participants, Tiwari said the Tiranga is 'not merely a piece of cloth, but a symbol of the dedication of 1.4 billion Indians towards the nation.' He added that the march would inspire the youth towards nation-building. Delhi BJP General Secretary Mohan Lal Gihara, MLAs Ajay Mahawar and Surya Prakash Khatri, NDMC member Dinesh Pratap Singh, District President U.K. Chaudhary, and senior leaders Gaurav Khari and Brijesh Rai were among those who participated.
Outer Delhi Yatra
Delhi BJP Co-Incharge and MP Alka Gurjar joined Outer Delhi MP Yogendra Chandolia in leading the Outer Delhi march, which commenced at Pol Star School, Sector 2 and concluded at Baleshwar Temple. MLAs Raj Kumar Chauhan, Manoj Shokeen, and Gajendra Daral, along with District President Vikram Gupta and senior leader Vinay Rawat, participated alongside thousands of party workers. Gurjar said she was 'filled with pride' after joining the march and described the Tiranga as a symbol of the 'honour, pride and glory of the nation.' She appealed to citizens to join the wave of patriotism and contribute to making India a 'Vishwaguru'. Chandolia called the event 'a magnificent celebration of patriotism' and urged everyone to work towards a 'Viksit Bharat'.
Karol Bagh and Keshavpuram Marches
The Karol Bagh district yatra was led by BJP National General Secretary Dushyant Gautam and Delhi BJP General Secretary Vishnu Mittal. Former Delhi BJP President Adesh Gupta, District President Virendra Babbar, State office bearer Abhishek Tandon, and Municipal Councillor Manish Chadha took part. In Keshavpuram, Delhi BJP General Secretary Yogita Singh led the procession, joined by District President Ajay Khattana, MLAs Raj Kumar Bhatia and Poonam Bhardwaj, senior Municipal Councillor Mukesh Goyal, and Yogesh Verma.
