A press conference was held yesterday regarding the first ‘Parivartan Yatra’ of the BJP, which will commence from the Trinetra Ganesh Temple located at the Ranthambhore Fort in Sawai Madhopur on 2 September 2023. During the press conference, the organizer of the journey, Arun Chaturvedi stated that the first of four transformation journeys in Rajasthan would begin from the Trinetra Ganesh Temple in Ranthambhore. He mentioned that before starting the journey on September 2, a formal prayer ceremony, or “pooja archana,” will be conducted at the Trinetra Ganesh Temple by Arun Chaturvedi, the organizer, along with co-organizer Jitendra Gothwal and other BJP leaders. The journey will commence after the Ganesh worship.
However, the Parivartan Yatra’s chariot, led by BJP’s National President JP Nadda, will be displayed in the Jan Sabha ground organized in Sawai Madhopur and not from the Trinetra Ganesh Temple.

This first Parivartan Yatra by the BJP will pass through various constituencies in Bharatpur Division, Jaipur Division, and Tonk District, covering a total of 47 assembly constituencies. This 1854-kilometer journey will conclude in Jaipur after 18 days, with a grand rally scheduled for September 19, by PM Narendra Modi.
