Kannur: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today joined Janaraksha Yatra emerging as a star attraction of the day. The UP Chief Minister landed Kannur late last night. He walked all the way from Keecheri to Puthiyatheruva this morning, during the second phase of the yatra, led by BJP state president Kummanam Rajasekharan. This was Mr Adityanath's maidan visit to Kerala after becoming the Chief Minister of the state.
A saffron clad sanyasi leading a political yatra raised curiosity among the highly politicised people in Kannur. More than 5000 BJP workers were marching along with Mr Adityanath and Mr Kummanam shooting slogans against 'Red and Jihadi Terrors.' The march in two lines was most peaceful and orderly. Hundreds of people cutting across the political side gathered on both sides of the road to greet the yatra. In this evening, the yatra will continue from Puthiyatheruvu to Kannur with Mr Adityanath and Kummanam at its helm. The yatra was against CPM atrocities against RSS and BJP workers in Kerala. (UNI)
