The processions will begin from state capitals and will continue through all blocks.
While addressing the event here Minister of State (MoS) Railways Manoj Sinha asserted, "Vajpayee played a pivotal role in the development of this country. His appeal to the people of Gazipur during the 1999 election, helped me to win."
