PATNA: Union minister for home affairs, Amit Shah, and BJP national president J P Nadda will be in Patna next week to address a two-day joint convention of the party's all seven 'morchas' (frontal organisations) to be held at Gyan Bhawan here.
Addressing a press conference on Sunday, BJP state president Sanjay Jaiswal and its co-incharge for Bihar, Harish Dwivedi, said while Nadda would inaugurate the joint meeting on July 30, Shah will address the valedictory session on July 31.
"Nadda will lead a roadshow from the Ambedkar statue near the Patna high court to the meeting venue," Dwivedi said, adding that Bihar BJP has been selected for hosting the first-ever joint national executive meet of all the seven BJP morchas.
Shah will address an event in Patna for the first time since the 2019 general elections. He last visited Jagdishpur in Bhojpur on April 23 this year to address an event organised on Veer Kunwar Singh Vijay Diwas and at a private university near Sasaram the same evening.
Around 800 party delegates would reach Patna for the two-day event, they said.
"On July 31, Nadda would listen the PM Narendra Modi's 'Maan Ki Baat' programme along with the party's booth-level workers in Patna Sahib area," Jaiswal said. The same day, Nadda would inaugurate 16 district BJP office buildings and lay the foundation for seven more district BJP office buildings.
Jaiswal and Dwivedi said the two-day event would serve as a workshop for yet another experiment that the BJP leadership decided to undertake at its recent national executive meeting, held in Hyderabad. "It was decided at Hyderabad that the office-bearers of the party and its all 'morchas' will spend a couple of days in various parts of the country to apprise the common people of the welfare schemes undertaken by the Modi-led NDA government," Dwivedi said.
In Bihar, the BJP leadership has identified 200 assembly constituencies where party leaders would visit and discuss the Centre's welfare schemes with common masses, he said.
