New Delhi, Apr 20 : BJP leaders and activists today asserted that despite scorching sun, tomorrow's rally against price rise in the national capital would be a huge success.
In what they termed as one of the biggest rallies the city has ever witnessed, around five lakh people are expected to demonstrate against the wrong economic policies of the Congress government resulting into price spiralling.
The leaders, overseeing the arrangements for the event, said heat could not deter the activists from across the country and they have already started gathering here.
Talking to UNI, Delhi BJP Secretary Virender Sachdeva said around one lakh people have already arrived by trains and over a lakh were on their way.
'' So, at least 2.25 lakh people would only be coming by trains,'' he added.
Mr Sachdeva said the people from neighbouring states like Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Uttaranchal, Himachal and Uttar Pradesh would come by buses for which more than 2500 buses have been booked.
Adequate arrangements have been made for the stay of the activists. '' Around 200 'Dharamshalas' (rest houses) and guest houses have been booked at various places in the city, including Old Delhi, Bhogal and Paharganj,'' he said.
Shelters have been erected in Ajmal Khan Park, DCM park and Kingsway Camp. In Paharganj, altogether 500 rooms have been booked in different guest houses.
Information booths installed at all major railway stations and inter-state bus terminals would guide the activists reach the venue.
Keeping the hot weather in mind, elaborate arrangements have been made for non-stop supply of water to the participants, he added.
Elaborating the details of water arrangements, State BJP Treasurer Praveen Khandelwal informed that with the help of social organisations and others, over 100 water stalls would be erected on different roads of Delhi leading to Ram Lila Ground and on route of the rally which would begin from Ram Lila Ground and culminate at Jantar Mantar.
Apart from these, mobile water vans will also be plying on the roads.
'' In order to protect the participants from any kind of dehydration, each water stall will have ORS solutions and glucose packets, '' he said.
State BJP leaders have also been organising street plays and public meetings for the past several weeks to encourage local people to participate in the rally.
Around 50,000 people from Delhi alone are expected to be participating in the rally. (UNI)
