PATNA: BJP national president J P Nadda reached here on Friday and interacted with the 70-member steering committee headed by Union minister Nityanand Rai. Former Maharashtra CM and Bihar BJP’s election incharge Devendra Fadnavis, party’s national general secretary and state incharge Bhupender Yadav, state president Dr Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal and the party’s top brass were also with him.

As per his two-day schedule released by the state BJP, there is no programme of Nadda to call on CM Nitish Kumar either on Friday or Saturday. “It is not necessary for the party president to call on the CM every time he visits the state. He had met Nitish during his last visit,” a state BJP source said, adding the seat-sharing and other related matters were being discussed through back channels.
Nadda would perform ‘puja’ at Patandevi Mandir from 9 to 11.30am in Saturday before addressing the Atmanirbhar Bharat meeting organized at the party’s state headquarters. “He will point out what all the NDA government would do in the next five years after retaining the power,” Jaiswal said.
Soon after, Nadda will leave for Darbhanga and address the fish producers and makhana growers on the campus of Makhana Anusandhan Kendra. From there, he would visit Saraiya in Muzaffarpur and meet Padma Shri award winner Raj Kumari Devi, popularly known as ‘Kisan Chachi’ at her village Ibrahimpur. He would interact with the litchi growers and women farmers from Muzaffarpur, Samastipur and Sitamarhi.
Nadda will return to Patna at 5pm and hold a meeting with the state core committee members at the residence of deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi. He will leave for Delhi at 8pm, as per his schedule.
Earlier in the day, Fadnavis inaugurated the party’s new media centre at a premier hotel near R-Block. “The people of the state will give historic victory to the NDA in the election. The new NDA government will definitely work in tandem with the Centre for the development of Bihar,” Fadnavis said.
