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.
