Conduct ‘Tiranga Yatra’ On Bikes During August 15-September 17: PM Modi

Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed to BJP workers in Telangana to carry out ‘Tiranga Yatra’ on bikes from August 15 to September 17 across the state.

Telangana BJP has been demanding to hold the official celebration of the ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ on September 17, when the erstwhile Nizams state was merged with the Indian Union. The Hyderabad State under Nizam rule was merged with the Indian Union on September 17, 1948, following a police action.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Stated to BJP workers as:

“September 17 is not Modi’s birthday… Sardar Patel got you freedom. Hence, carry out ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in all parts of the state,” Modi told party workers at packed LB Stadium in Hyderabad.

“Across the country, the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ will be conducted, but in Telangana, you carry out the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ from August 15 till September 17 on bikes,” Modi said.

The PM had announced to launch a mega 15-day BJP campaign ‘70 saal Azadi-yaad karo kurbani‘ on August 9, the 75th year of Quit India movement, and virtually the entire Council of Ministers will travel across the country to “rekindle the spirit of patriotism”.

Addressing the huge gathering, he said, “Yeh sanghtan ki shakti ka nazara hai. Yeh BJP ke booth party ke karyakarta ki shakti ka nazara hai. Muze dur ka dikhai de raha hai. Telangana ka future nazar aa raha hai. You too start seeing Telangana with new future. (This is a spectacle of the power of the organisation. This is the spectacle of the power of the BJP’s booth party workers. I can see the future. I can visualise the future of Telangana).”
