Day 2 : Another successful day – yatra reaches Varanasi
Yatra concludes its day two at Varanasi. The story of yesterday was more or less repeated today. There were people all along the route from Patna to Arrah and onwards to Buxar. Right from Danapur, almost all places – Maner, Pitambar nagar, Khayyam nagar saw huge crowds. At the historic Koilwar bridge [known for its connection with Gandhi ji], there were nearly 2-3 thousand people cheering and welcoming the yatra.
At Arrah town, people lined up the street. Beyond Arrah, onwards to Buxar, places like Bibiganj, Semariya, Shahpur, Bihiya, Bharauli, Brahmpur etc saw a large number of people turning out to greet the yatra.
By the time yatra reached Ramgarh at UP border, it was dark. But the enthusaism of the people gathered did not wane. Hundred of motor-cyclists from Yuva morcha and youth from the public joined the yatra cavalcade on its journey towards Varanasi via Chandauli. Yatra reached late at Mughal sarai after a few smaller public meetings along the way. The sabha at Mughal Sarai was short as it was very late but was well-attended nevertheless.
Yatra resumes tomorrow after the press-conference and Jan sabha at Varanasi.

The yatra ended day one in Patna where a huge rally was held late last night. Speaking at the Gandhi Maidan rally, Advani ji said that he had not seen such a reception to any of his previous yatras as the one witnessed in Bihar.
At Patna, the yatra’s second day began with Sri Advani ji’s press conference. Yatra proceeded from Patna at around 11 am.
Advani ji blamed the UPA government for its failure in tackling the black money issue. He cautioned UPA and demanded that the government must reveal the names of Indians who have stashed black money in foreign havens. He also said that BJP would force the government to bring back illegal money stashed abroad.
While in Patna, he also gave a call for a “brighter India” free of corruption. He further asked people to take an oath that they would oppose graft and rising prices.
The route from Patna to Arrah saw similar response that yatra received on day 01. About 4000 people at Maner, nearly 4-5 thousand at Pitamber nagar, about 3000 at the historic Koilwar bridge welcomed the yatra.
When yatra reached Arrah, all streets were lined up by thousands of people welcoming & cheering it. The public rally is underway with nearly 20 thousand people in attendance.
