BJP Launches Nationwide Campaign for Sant Ravidas's 650th Anniversary
The BJP is starting a big campaign called 'Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj Samrasata Sankalp Abhiyan' on July 29 to celebrate the 650th birthday of Sant Ravidas.
This campaign will go on until November 5 and will happen all over India.
The BJP wants to share Sant Ravidas's messages about being kind, equal, and helpful to everyone.
They will do this by teaching their workers, giving out special soil from Sant Ravidas's birthplace, and having a big journey called the 'Guru Ravidas Maharaj Harmony Yatra' that will go through many states.
Some people might think this is a good way to spread important messages, while others might think it's just a way for the BJP to get more votes.
The BJP will launch a nationwide campaign on July 29 to mark Sant Ravidas's 650th birth anniversary.
The campaign aims to spread messages of social harmony, equality, and brotherhood.
Training workshops and district-level events will be held from July 25 to 27.
The 'Kalash Vandan Abhiyan' will distribute sacred soil from Sant Ravidas's birthplace to villages.
The 'Guru Ravidas Maharaj Harmony Yatra' will travel through various states from October 5 to November 5.
