Eye on 2024 polls, Nadda to go on 120-day nationwide tour from December

BJP president JP Nadda will embark on a 120-day nationwide tour to tone up the party's formidable organisational machinary with an eye on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, as the saffron dispensation looks to focus on regions where it did not fare well in the last general election.

BJP general secretary Arun Singh told reporters that Mr Nadda will begin his travel from the first week of December and Uttarakhand will be the first state on his itinerary.

December 5 is the likely date for the beginning of his tour.

Mr Singh said the BJP president will visit every state, hold virtual meetings with heads of all booth units, the smallest organisational entity in the party, and meet every MP and MLA of the organisation besides its senior leaders, including district chiefs, in each state.
