The MP also paid his tributes to the freedom fighters at number of places while leading this yatra.
Jugal Kishore Sharma, while speaking about the yatra, said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has desired that all the MPs must take out Tiranga Rallies in their respective constituencies. Hence, a scooter and motor cycle rally is being taken out in order to connect with the “Common Man” residing in every nook and corner of the constituency. The rally is in accordance with the theme of the celebrations “Yaad Karo Qurbani”. The aim is to induce patriotism and remind the people of the sacrifices made by thousands of Indians to gain the freedom. It is also a salute to the valiant soldiers and policemen who have sacrificed their lives to preserve the freedom and integrity of our country. Tiranga symbolises the spirit of unity, prosperity and sacrifice and through these Tiranga rallies, Bharatiya Janata Party wants to spread this message among the masses.
