BJP Plans Month-Long Service Campaign and Vadnagar-Varanasi Yatra
BJP to launch month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' and Vadnagar-Varanasi Yatra on PM Modi's birthday · thehansindia.com

The BJP plans a month-long programme called the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.

It is expected to begin on September 17, which is Narendra Modi's birthday, and end on October 17.

One major part will be a journey between Vadnagar and Varanasi.

Vadnagar is where Modi was born, while Varanasi is linked to his political work.

Ten groups will start from each city and travel toward the other city.

The groups will use bikes and buses and include BJP workers.

They will travel about 100 kilometres each day and meet people along the way.

The campaign will also include health, sanitation and government-scheme activities.

The BJP says it wants to connect Modi's birthday with public service instead of ordinary celebrations.
