Cong amends 4th, 5th phases of parivartan yatra

Raipur, May 01, 2013

Congress has once amended fourth and fifth phases of its parivartan yatra. Now, yatra’s fourth phase will be held from May 23 to 29 and fifth phase from June 2 to 9.

According to yatra’s media coordinator Jaswant Claudius amendment in yatra programmes was done for convenience of Congress leaders including CLP leader Ravindra Choubey who would be busy in marriage and social programmes from May 13 to 22. 

Claudius said another reason for changing yatra schedule was Akshay Tritiya that would be on May 13. In Chhattisgarh, Akshay Tritiya is considered as most auspicious day for conducting marriage. Claudius said the villagers too would be busy in marriage and family ceremonies from Akshay Tritiya to some 10-12 days, hence the party decided to start fourth phase of the yatra from May 23.

Earlier, the party was scheduled to take out fifth phase of the yatra in tribal regions including Bastar division but now these areas will be covered in fourth phase. 

According to amended schedules the assembly constituencies where fourth phase of rallies will be organised are - May 23 – Bijapur, Karali (Dantewada VS area), May 24 - Jagdalpur, Bakawand (Bastar VS area), May 25 – Sukma (Konta VS area), Darbha (Chitrakot VS area), May 26 – Narayanpur, Kondagaon, May 27 – Keshkal, Kanker, May 28 – Antagarh, Bhanupratappur, Doundi-Lohara and May 29 – Mohla (Mohla Manpur VS area), Kumarda (Khujji VS area), Dongargaon.
