Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda was welcomed by party leaders and workers at Hubballi in poll-bound Karnataka on a 2-day visit. BJP’s chief is on a two-day visit to the southern state, a day after its senior leader and former Chief Minister Jagadeesh Shettar, after being denied a ticket, joined the Congress party.
During his visit, Nadda will be visiting Hubli and Shiggaon (Haveri) and participating in several public programmes and organisational meetings, including visiting some key mutts in Hubli district, an official statement from the party said.
According to the statement, this is Nadda’s first visit to the state after the party announced candidates for the assembly polls. “The visit gains significance ahead of the Assembly polls in Karnataka,” the statement said.
During his visit, Nadda is expected to participate in several public programmes and organisational meetings of the party, including attending a massive road show and public rally in the Haveri district.
According to the itinerary shared by the party, Nadda will also interact with intellectuals at the BVB Engineering College.
