Building Gorata Martyrs memorial

During Hyderabad's accession to India, around 200 people were killed by Razakars in the tiny village of Gorta in Bidar district. BJYM Karnataka is building a memorial in remembrance of those who lost their lives.[1]

Protest against Rape incidents in Karnataka

In Karnataka, after incidents of rape were reported, BJP Yuva Morcha instigated statewide insistence on security for women.[2]

Padayatra demanding water in suburban districts of Bengaluru

Bengaluru Rural, Chikkaballapura, and Kolar are districts adjoining the city of Bengaluru. These are developing districts, which are projected to house future commercial areas. Unfortunately, the area suffers from an acute water shortage. BJP Yuva Morcha held a padayatra (walkathon) from Chikkaballapur to Bengaluru, demanding a permanent water solution for these areas. The walkathon gained popularity, and farmers voluntarily joined it, making for a crowd of around 6000 people. Unable to stand the fact of people participating in large numbers, the state government sabotaged the yatra by detaining its leaders.[3]

Yuva Chaitanya Yatra

Yuva Chaitanya Yatra (Youth Consciousness Walk), a campaign focused on clean living, was carried out with three goals in mind:

The yatra travelled across 14 districts, covering 1153 kilometers in 7 days. [4]

Leadership

BJPYM Karnataka is currently headed by Pratap Simha, MP Mysore, who took over from Muniraju Gowda in May 2016. He is assisted by numerous other office-holders, including state vice-presidents, general secretaries, and cell conveners.[5]
