BJP national president J P Nadda is scheduled to arrive here on August 27 on a two-day visit to Tripura to oversee organisational activities ahead of the Assembly poll next year, a senior party leader said on Wednesday.

The visit is also important in view of the recent change in guard in the state cabinet.

During the visit, Nadda will hold meetings of the party’s officer bearers and the core committee to check organisational activities in the poll bound state.

We are trying to organize a rally of the party’s frontal organization which will be addressed by Naddji. Besides, he may sit with IPFT leaders for the electoral understanding for the Assembly poll, Tripura said.

Nadda had cancelled visits to the state twice due to the Covid pandemic.

Chief Minister Manik Saha, who had been on a two-day visit to Delhi earlier this month, had met Nadda and briefed him about the prevailing political scenario in the state and organisational activities.

BJP had recently organised a three-day training programme at Kumarghat in Unakoti district. BJP state in-charge Vinod Sonkar, former chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb and senior party leaders had taken part in it.
