The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign was launched in 2022 under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to mark 75 years of Indian independence.
The campaign uses a selfie-upload mechanic to make individual flag-hoisting a measurable, collective national act.
Reddy's participation also serves as a party mobilisation signal in Telangana , where BJP is working to strengthen its presence.
Two days before Independence Day, Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy hoisted the Tricolour at his home on 13 August 2026 — answering Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call to turn the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign into a nationwide people's movement.
Reddy urged every citizen to follow suit: hoist the flag, click a selfie with it, and upload the photograph at harghartiranga.com — the campaign's official portal. 'Let us come together to celebrate the spirit of Independence and make this campaign a people's movement,' he wrote.
Four years of flags at every door
Har Ghar Tiranga was born in 2022 under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav umbrella, launched to mark 75 years of Indian independence. The idea was simple and deliberately mass-scale: get the national flag out of government buildings and into living rooms, balconies, and front gates across the country. It worked — millions of selfies flooded the portal in its debut year, and the government has revived the drive every August since.
The campaign sits at the intersection of civic ritual and digital mobilisation. The selfie-upload mechanic gives participation a visible, shareable form, converting a private act — hoisting a flag at home — into a collective, countable moment. That data point, the number of uploads, becomes the campaign's own scoreboard.
Reddy's role: BJP Telangana president joins the chorus
As BJP Telangana state president, Reddy's participation carries a dual signal — ministerial duty and state-level party mobilisation ahead of the Independence Day weekend. Telangana, where the BJP is working to expand its footprint, becomes one more geography in the campaign's map. A Union Minister hoisting the flag and posting publicly is a nudge to party workers and supporters across the state to do the same.
The flag goes up. The selfie gets uploaded. The movement, the government hopes, counts itself.
