The Tamil Nadu BJP maintains the yatra despite the state government forbidding it. The month-long rally, with visits to six abodes of Lord Muruga and modeled after the rath yatra, was scheduled to begin on November 6 from the Tiruttani temple, north of Tamil Nadu, and culminate at the temple from Tiruchendur, in the southern part of the state. The ‘Vel Yatra’ is seen as an attempt by the BJP to consolidate Hindu votes in the state.
The Tamil Nadu government had denied permission for the yatra in view of the Covid-19 situation and possible community tension, as feared in multiple complaints from opposition parties and two PILs filed in HC against the yatra.
