The BJP has decided to hit the road next week with its 'Hunkar Rath' to mobilise people across 15 districts of Bihar for its proposed October 27 'Hunkar Rally' in Patna slated to be addressed by its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi among others.
Addressing a press conference here today, senior party leader Ashwani Kumar Chaube said, he will launch the mass contact programme from his native Bhagalpur district on October 17.
It's important for all senior leaders of the party to take initiative and make the rally at Patna's Gandhi Maidan, a grand success, he said.
A former minister in the Nitish Kumar-government, Chaube said Modi's first rally in Bihar since his anointment as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate will send a strong message to the country.
The 'Hunkar Rally' will also influence the future politics of Bihar with Modi going all guns blazing against the UPA government at the Centre and his views about the government of Nitish Kumar, Chaube said.
