Maharashtra Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Sandip Tajne on Wednesday said his outfit will launch a âpol khol yatra' to "expose" the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which is part of the Eknath Shinde-led government in the state.
Tajne, along with BSP state in-charge Pramod Raina, is in Nagpur to attend a meeting of party workers on September 1.
Addressing a press conference, he said the Maharashtra BSP will embark on a âBJP ki pol khol yatra' across the state from November 26.
The programme will start from Nagpur, he said.

"The BJP, which is in power at the Centre and also in Maharashtra, is working towards changing the Constitution. We will highlight this issue before the people with our âSamvidhan Jan Jagruti Abhiyan' (which is part of the yatra)," he said.
Tajne alleged members of SC/ST (Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe) communities are facing injustice in Maharashtra.
Recently, an SC community man was killed in a farm in Aurangabad in central Maharashtra by a person from a dominant caste, said the BSP leader said.
"Be it the erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi government or the present Eknath Shinde-BJP government, they have failed to stop injustice and atrocities on SC/ST communities in the state," he alleged.
State BSP in-charge Raina informed the party will contest all seats in every district in upcoming elections in Maharashtra.
Asked whether the BSP will fight the upcoming elections in an alliance with other political parties, Tajne said two to three outfits have approached them for a tie-up, but no final decision has been taken on the matter.
