THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: BJP national president Amit Shah will launch BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan's Janaraksha Yatra from Kannur on October 3. Earlier, the yatra was scheduled to take place from September 7 to 23. Mr Kummanam told Deccan Chronicle that Mr Amit Shah will arrive in Kannur on October 3 and take part in the yatra in the district against the political violence in the state.
He will also attend the conclusion at Putharikandam grounds here on October 16 after joining the padayatra at Sreekariyam where RSS leader S. L. Rajesh was killed recently. The state leadership had urged Mr Shah to tour a district in central Travancore for two days. But he will be focussing more on Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh where Assembly elections will be held in October-November, he said.
