Nashik (Maharashtra), Jan 12 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in this pilgrim centre and launched a spectacular roadshow, virtually symbolising the start of the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies’ 2024 poll campaign, here on Friday morning.

The roadshow started from the Mirchi Circle to the Janardhan Swami Math Chowk on the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar-Nashik Highway along with a cultural show in which over 1,50,000 people joined enthusiastically, amidst tight security all around.

Organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs in collaboration with other departments, the NYF theme this year is ‘MyBharat-ViksitBharat@2047 - By the Youth, For the Youth’ to herald the aspirations of the young generations for India’s future.

Besides Nashik, 750 districts and major cities are simultaneously hosting various NYF-related events like road safety, cultural programmes and events showcasing India’s diverse heritage, to foster a spirit of national unity and progress among the youth.
