The union minister today offered prayers at the famous temple of Goddess Bhagya Lakshmi at Charminar here and launched the 'Raths' to be used in the 'yatras'. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, his Goa counterpart Pramod Sawant, and other senior BJP leaders are expected to attend the mass-contact programme.

The TMC will conduct a ‘Sarba Dharma’ on January 22 to give a message of communal harmony. The yatra will begin from Hazra and culminate in Park Circus Maidan, followed by a mass address by the TMC supremo.
