Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar will start the Jan Samman Yatra, an outreach project by the ruling Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), on 8 August in Dindori, Nashik district, the party stated on Monday. Speaking at a press conference, NCP working president Praful Patel emphasised the need for the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, as well as its Mahayuti coalition allies—BJP and Shiv Sena—to unite and win the upcoming Maharashtra assembly polls. 

The NCP`s top leadership, including Patel, senior leader Chhagan Bhujbal, cabinet ministers, and MLAs, demonstrated unity by attending the press conference when the Yatra itinerary was announced.
