Nitin Nabin Arrives In Patna For Three-Day Visit, Reviews Chhath Preparations

(MENAFN- IANS) Patna, Nov 10 (IANS) BJP National President Nitin Nabin arrived in Patna on Tuesday for a three-day visit and was welcomed at the airport by senior party leaders and workers, including state BJP President Sanjay Saraogi, Vijay Kumar Sinha and Mangal Pandey.

During his visit, Nabin inspected preparations for the upcoming Chhath festival by visiting several ghats along the Ganga.

He travelled by steamer from Nasriganj Ghat in Digha to Gai Ghat.

During the journey, he reviewed arrangements at the ghats, including cleanliness, lighting, security and facilities for devotees.

At 5.30 p.m., Nabin is scheduled to visit the residence of the late former Rajya Sabha MP R.K. Sinha to pay his respects and offer condolences to the bereaved family.

A series of organisational meetings has been scheduled for November 11 and 12.

Nabin is expected to meet senior BJP leaders, members of the party's core committee and representatives of NDA alliance partners.

The discussions are expected to focus on reviewing the results of the recently concluded elections to eight Bihar Legislative Council seats, strengthening the party organisation and preparing for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed visit to Bihar.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Bihar on November 21 to mark the completion of one year of the NDA government in the state.

During his visit, he will inaugurate several infrastructure projects, including a six-lane bridge over the Ganga connecting Bidupur in Patna district with Raghopur in Vaishali district.

The bridge is expected to significantly improve connectivity between the two districts and ease traffic congestion on the Mahatma Gandhi Setu, which connects Patna with Hajipur in Vaishali district. The new bridge will provide an additional route for commuters and help reduce the traffic burden on the existing Ganga crossing.

Earlier, Nitin Nabin visited Bhagalpur on November 2 and launched the NDA's nationwide campaign, titled "Save Democracy, End Anarchy", from Bhagalpur.
