KOLKATA: BJP national president J P Nadda, on a two-day tour of West Bengal, is likely to address the state executive of the Bengal unit, which is still facing internal bickering and exodus. He will also address an interaction with city intellectuals as part of his outreach programme.
Scheduled to reach the city on Tuesday night, Nadda will start his tour by paying homage to Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. On Wednesday morning, the BJP chief is scheduled to visit Vande Mataram Bhavan in Chinsurah, the house where Bankim composed ‘Vande Mataram’ in the 1870s. In 1882, the song was included in his novel ‘Anandamath’. Nadda will also visit the Rash Behari Bose Research Institute in Chandannagar.
