"At any cost, we will go to Karauli. We will try to go peacefully. If the police try to stop us, we will have collective court arrest and detention," he said to a cheering crowd.
On Saturday, the Jaipur district administration had imposed Section 144 CrPC till May 9 and prohibited the gathering of crowds, protests, assemblies and processions without prior permission in the entire rural and urban area.
Barricades have been erected to prevent the group from entering.
Surya has accused the Congress-led state government of barring the BJP from visiting the riot-hit area and said he would not stop until he reaches there.
Karauli saw clashes between two communities on April 2. A curfew was imposed for over a week, till April 12, considering the law and order situation.
