CM Suvendu Adhikari launches 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign in Kolkata
People in Kolkata, India, are getting ready for India's Independence Day.
On Friday, a leader named Suvendu Adhikari, who is the Chief Minister of West Bengal, started a special program called 'Har Ghar Tiranga', which means 'Tricolour in every home'.
The Tricolour is India's flag.
The program began with a big march from Survey Building to Hazra Crossing.
Thousands of people joined the walk, including two government ministers.
The leader said the march helps people feel proud of their country.
He said everyone should carry the flag with pride, just like Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked.
Another big march is planned for August 10, from the Netaji statue to Gate No.
7 of Birla Planetarium, and about 50,000 people are expected to join.
The leader also said about 70 lakh flags were given out across the state.
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari launched the Centre's 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign on Friday from his Bhabanipur constituency in Kolkata.
The launch march from Survey Building to Hazra Crossing drew thousands of participants, including Industry Minister Tapas Roy and School Education Minister Dipak Burman.
Adhikari announced an August 10 Tiranga Yatra from the Netaji statue to Gate No. 7 of Birla Planetarium with around 50,000 expected participants.
He said the campaign aims to strengthen nationalism and patriotism in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to carry the Tricolour with pride, adding, 'A nationalist government has now been formed in Bengal.'
Adhikari said the previous Trinamool Congress government never responded to Modi's Tiranga Yatra call, and noted around 70 lakh national flags were distributed across Bengal's districts and subdivisions for the first time.
