BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain and vice president Rajiv Pratap Rudy met the President Thursday to persuade him to revise the date of his visit to the state.
"It was a courtesy call since he is coming to Bihar and our rally is on the 27th (Oct 27). The President has now cancelled his night halt and will return to the national capital on the same day (Oct 26)," Hussain said.
The president's press secretary, Venu Rajamony, however, said the visit was cut short as the event he was scheduled to attend Oct 27 was cancelled.
