NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address Bharatiya Janata Party workers on Wednesday on the occasion of the party's foundation day.

The BJP, in its present form, was founded on April 6, 1980.

Also, in a first, BJP president J P Nadda will interact with a group of foreign envoys on the party's foundation day and apprise them of its ideology, culture and functioning.

PM Modi will address the foundation day via video conference. It will be broadcasted live on all the social media handles of the party including its website and YouTube.

"Tomorrow, 6th April is a special day for us BJP Karyakartas. We mark the foundation day of our Party. We recall all those who have built the party and served people tirelessly. At 10 AM tomorrow will be addressing fellow Karyakartas. Do join...," PM Modi said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Nadda's interaction with 13 ambassadors from Asian and European nations will be held under a programme, titled 'Know the BJP', being launched this year.

A documentary on the party's journey would also be shown to the envoys at the BJP headquarters on Wednesday evening.

The documentary will depict the journey of the Jan Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party. A special coffee-table book, "Nation First", will also be distributed among the guests, the BJP said in a statement.
