BJP Launches 'Samrasta Sankalp Abhiyan' In Maharashtra To Promote Social Harmony

Maharashtra's BJP chief Ravindra Chavan inaugurated the 'Samrasta Sankalp Abhiyan' on Saturday, aiming to transcend caste divisions and uphold the spirit of nationalism for a developed India. The campaign, coinciding with Sant Ravidas Maharaj's 650th birth anniversary, is being implemented nationwide. A Kalash carrying sacred earth from Varanasi, Ravidas' birthplace, arrived in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar via Nagpur on August 7.

Chavan honored Ravidas Maharaj and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, vowing to carry forward the latter's ideals. "To achieve the vision of a developed India by 2047, it's crucial to rise above caste and religion, spreading the message of social harmony as envisioned by Bharat Ratna Dr. B.R. Ambedkar," Chavan stated. The Kalash Yatra, spanning July 2026 to February 2027, will traverse Maharashtra's districts, hosting worship ceremonies at each stop.

BJP leaders, religious representatives, and social activists joined the event, underscoring the party's commitment to Ravidas Maharaj's message of unity and equality.
