Intensifying its campaign against the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP has decided to launch 'Parivartan Rath Yatra' across the state to expose the mafias ruling the roost.
The BJP's state unit chief Satpal Singh Satti said the 'Yatra' would begin from June 18 covering all the 68 Assembly segments in the state to expose the lawlessness prevailing in the state.
Expressing dismay over the "casual manner" in which cases of corruption, illegal mining, illegal felling of forest and drug trafficking are being "hushed up", he alleged the accused are being given clean chit even without conducting an enquiry.
The BJP leader demanded a CBI probe into the alleged murder of a forest guard and said it is necessary to expose the forest mafias and those shielding them.
Satti said that all four BJP MPs in the state would take part in the 'Yatra' and senior party leaders including, P K Dhumal, Shanta Kumar, Union minister J P Nadda would address rallies.
Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh are scheduled to be held later this year.
