Kanpur: Union minister of state for home Kiran Rijiju, on Tuesday led a 'Tiranga Yatra' from Bara Jod Toll plaza to Hindi Bhawan in Akbarpur in Kanpur Dehat district.
The nearly 15-km journey, which was undertaken on motorcycles, was organised 'to imbibe nationalism' among the citizens. The MoS for home, who was in Kanpur Dehat for the Tiranga Yatra, said the rally was a part of prime minister Narendra Modi's efforts to have an event where everyone would rise above politics to imbibe nationalism, work together as a citizen and live for the nation.
While addressing a gathering at Hindi Bhawan in Akbarpur, the minister said, "India is our mother and we will not give even an inch of our country's land to Pakistan, China or any other country.
And to keep the country unite,d we should strengthen BJP," Rijiju said. He said our Prime Minister has not taken a single day off after taking charge on May 26, 2014. "And had conveyed the same to his ministers to work for people and nation even on holidays and not indulge in corruption," he said.
At the yatra, hundreds of BJP workers led by Rijiju rode on bikes carrying the national flag. Local MP Devendra Singh Bhole and other senior BJP MLAs were also present at the event. The minister further expressed confidence that BJP will form government in Uttar Pradesh. "The airport in Kanpur city will become operational in October as part of a plan to boost regional connectivity," said the minister Rijiju while talking to reporters later.
