From Unai one yatra will go to Ambaji Temple covering the tribal belt of the state, while another one will reach Fagvel temple town in Kheda district.
The BJP's central leaders as well as those from the state unit will join the yatras at different points, the party said in a release.
A total of five yatras are planned by BJP, of eight to nine days each, and they plan to cover 144 assembly constituencies as part of the campaign.
