BENGALURU: The BJP’s Parivartan Yatra which will be flagged off on November 2 by party national president Amit Shah, will see one lakh bikes converge in Bengaluru.

About two lakh party workers from 17 districts will be arriving in the city to attend the event to be held at BIEC Grounds on Tumakuru Road.

Asked about the havoc it would cause in the city, MP Shobha Karandlaje said those who arrive from other districts have been asked to stay on the outskirts and join the rally only on the travel leg of the journey.

“We are aware that it is a working day and we do not want to disrupt traffic and put people to hardship. Our workers will be staying on the outskirts of the city on Mysuru, Ballari and Tumakuru Road.

So far, 55,000 bikes and participants from 17 districts have registered and this number is expected to hit 1 lakh soon,” she said.
