Ahead of assembly polls scheduled for next year, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President JP Nadda is on a two-day visit to Goa from Wednesday.
As per the Twitter handle of Nadda's office, he will start off the visit by offering prayers at the Mahalaxmi Temple in Panaji. After that, he will address two meetings of party workers in Valpo and Bicholim. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as the election in-charge for the state.
Further, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and MP Darshana Jardosh have been appointed as the co-in-charge for the Assembly elections in the state. Assembly polls in Goa are due in early 2022.
