Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the closing ceremony of BJP's Parivartan Yatra in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand on October 2. The yatra, which began on September 20, aims to energize party workers and cover over 63,000 villages ahead of upcoming state elections.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the closing ceremony of BJP's Parivartan Yatra in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand on October 2, according to party sources. As part of his visit, PM Modi will first meet with the tribal community in Ranchi before heading to Hazaribagh's Gandhi Maidan for the ceremony.

This visit marks PM Modi's second trip to Jharkhand within 17 days, following his visit to Jamshedpur on September 15. The 'Parivartan Yatra' commenced from six different locations on September 20 and has featured participation from central and state-level BJP leaders aiming to energize party workers. Covering a distance of 5000 kilometers through 200 blocks, the yatra will conclude in Hazaribagh.

Senior BJP leaders such as party president JP Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh have already taken part in the yatra. During his visit, PM Modi will also lay the foundation stone and inaugurate various projects worth over Rs 83,300 crore in Hazaribagh. Additionally, he will launch the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan scheme with a budget of Rs 79,150 crore.

According to the Prime Minister's Office, the initiative is expected to directly benefit over 5 crore tribal people across 63,000 villages, 549 districts, and 2,740 blocks in 30 states and Union Territories. Ahead of the upcoming elections, the BJP aims to boost worker morale and promote their agenda for change in Jharkhand's government through this yatra.

Jharkhand is anticipated to hold elections for its 81-member legislative assembly by December 2024, with the current government's tenure ending in January 2025. The Election Commission has yet to announce the schedule. In the 2020 assembly election, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha secured 30 seats, BJP won 25, and Congress obtained 16.
