To commemorate 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy on Saturday participated in a 'Gandhi Sankalp Yatra' in Hyderabad.
The Union Minister embarked on a march with his fellow party leaders and workers, holding national flags. The event was aimed to propagate ideals of Mahatma Gandhi like non-violence and cleanliness and also spread awareness about the harmful effects of single-use plastic.
Speaking to media persons at the occasion, G Kishan Reddy said, "We aspire to build a 'New India'. Under PM Modi's Gandhi Sankalp Yatra initiative, the BJP wants to propagate Mahatma Gandhi's ideology and his principles of non-violence, Swaraj and simplicity among the people of the country."
The Union Minister further spread awareness on harmful use of single-use plastic.
The party workers from across the country are expected to travel 150 kilometres till October 31 to spread the values of Mahatama Gandhi to the masses.
