The yatras will cover 5,400 km and all 81 assembly segments across 24 districts. The yatras will run from September 20 to October 3, with each departing on different dates from various organisational divisions. Jharkhand has five official divisions—Santhal Pargana, Palamu, North Chotanagpur, South Chotanagpur, and Kolhan—with North Chotanagpur further divided for organisational purposes, a party official said.

Around 50 national and state-level leaders, including chief ministers from BJP-ruled states, are expected to participate in the yatras. The objectives of the yatras are to highlight the alleged unfulfilled promises of the JMM, Congress, and RJD alliance government, as well as issues related to Bangladeshi infiltration, demographic changes, law and order, and corruption.
