Chandra Shekhar to undertake 'car yatra'

By Our Staff Reporter

BHUBANESWAR, JUNE 2. The president of the Samajwadi Janata Party and former Prime Minister, Mr. Chandra Shekhar, will undertake a fortnight-long `car yatra' from Puri to Porbandar starting June 5 to make the masses aware of the ``anti-people'' policies being pursued by the present government at the Centre.

Giving details of the programme at a press conference here, the national coordinator of the Yatra and general secretary of the Samajwadi Janata Party, Prof. H. N. Sharma, said that Mr. Chandra Shekhar will address a series of public meetings during the course of his yatra.

Prof. Sharma said the yatra will end with a mass rally at Porbandar on June 19. Apart from Mr. Chandra Shekhar, other prominent leaders who were likely to address the Porbandar meeting include Mr. V. P. Singh, Mr. Deve Gowda, Mr. I. K. Gujral, Mr. Harkishen Singh Surjeet, Mr. Sharad Pawar, Mr. P. A. Sangma, Prof. Madhu Dandavate, and Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Maintaining that the NDA Government at the Centre had put the country on sale while trying to stay in power at any cost, Prof. Sharma said Mr. Chandra Shekhar's yatra will have nothing to do with politics or votes.
