Calcutta HC's decision allowing rath yatras in West Bengal victory of democracy: BJP

The BJP Thursday welcomed the Calcutta High Court's decision to allow the party's rath yatras in West Bengal as a "victory of democracy" and said the rallies will begin "very soon".

The rath yatra programme is scheduled to be inaugurated by party chief Amit Shah.

Addressing a press conference at the party office here, senior BJP leader and Union minister Prakash Javadekar said,"It is a victory of democracy. What the state government was doing was unconstitutional."
Another party leader, Bhupender Yadav, said, "Now, the yatras will begin soon. It will ensure the party's victory in the state in the coming days."
