However, the Tamil Nadu government did not give permission for the Vel Yatra. However, despite the ban, state president L. Murugan started the Vel Yatra on the 6th of this month.
Vel Yatra is being held on behalf of the BJP in all the districts of Tamil Nadu.
As part of this, the Vel Yatra was planned to be held today in Udagai, Nilgiris District under the leadership of Nilgiris District Chairman Mohanraj.
Party volunteers, executives and more than two thousand BJP workers participated. State Vice President Nainar Nagendran was present. Earlier, he told reporters that there was a public outcry over the Vel Yatra in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP alliance with the AIADMK would win more seats in Tamil Nadu in the coming elections.
