Nadda's 2-day visit to West Bengal
It is important to mention that JP Nadda had just returned from his visit to West Bengal where he had addressed several press conferences and rallies ahead of the 2021 state assembly elections. The BJP President had reached Kolkata on a two-day visit on December 9 where he had inaugurated BJP's West Bengal State Election Office, addressed the 'Aar Noi Annay' rally in Bhawanipur Vidhan Sabha, and had held a press conference in Kolkata amongst other things.
The leader was also in close contact with the top brass of the Bengal BJP including state President Dilip Ghosh, Mukul Roy, and Kailash Vijayvargiya. Notably, during his visit, Nadda's convoy was attacked when he was on his way to Diamond Harbour to address a meeting with party workers.
Meanwhile, the BJP President is also scheduled to visit Mumbai on December 18 for three days to chalk out a strategy for BJP for the 2022 BMC elections and other Gram Panchayat polls. The leader's visits come as a part of his 120-day nationwide tour in a bid to expand and strengthen the saffron party's reach across all states ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
