The Kosal Mukti Rath rolled down by the Kosal Janata Dal, a newly registered political outfit of Odisha, reached Bonaigarh in Sundargarh district on Thursday.
Launched on October 2 with an avowed mission of covering all district headquarters, subdivisions, blocks and panchayats of western Odisha, the rath in its first phase has already covered Rourkela and its peripheral areas.
The caravan covering Sundargarh, Jharsuguda and Debgarh districts would come to an end by November 30, said party president Baidyanath Mishra in a Press conference.
Rest parts of Western Odisha would be covered in December in three to four phases with an objective to generate mass awareness among the domiciles of Western Odisha on the need for a separate State, he added.
During the programme, several members joined the new outfit amid enthusiasm and glee. Umesh Chandra Patra and Lingraj Dandia were selected as president of Lahunipada and Gurundia block, respectively.
Mishra said the party plans to field at least 30 candidates in the coming Assembly Elections stretching out to all parts of the State. For the party, Narla, Patnagarh, Rourkela, Deogarh and Redhakhol are the key constituencies and all resources would be put together to create a win situation, added Mishra.
