Jyoti to reach home turf today with yatra

Jaipur: Jyoti Mirdha, who has left the Congress for the BJP, will reach her home turf, Nagaur, on Sunday evening with the saffron party’s ‘Parivartan Sankalp Yatra’, which she joined on Saturday at Parbatsar. This would be the first show of strength of Mirdha in Nagaur after joining the BJP. “She will make a grand entry into Nagaur with almost 200-300 four-wheelers,” claimed Ramnivas Sankhla, BJP’s Nagaur district president. “Mirdha has joined the yatra today. She will be holding several small meetings during the day tomorrow and will address a big public meeting in Nagaur in the evening,” Sankhla told TOI. She is the granddaughter of powerful Jat leader Nathuram Mirdha.

Ahead of Rajasthan polls, Nathuram Mirdha's kin Jyoti Mirdha joins BJP

Two Congress leaders from Rajasthan, including Jyoti Mirdha, granddaughter of prominent leader Nathuram Mirdha, have joined the BJP ahead of the assembly polls in the state. Mirdha, who was a former Nagaur MP, stated that she saw no opportunity for active participation in nation-building within the Congress. She also claimed that the party has deviated from the path of progress and has been ignoring committed leaders and workers. The move is seen as a boost for the BJP in the Jat-dominated region.
