Shah was accorded a warm welcome by the chief minister and other party leaders, including Kailash Vijaywargiya and Prabhat Jha as well as state party president Nandkumar Singh Chauhan, when he landed at Bhopal's Raja Bhoj Airport.

A large number of BJP workers, many of them sporting saffron turbans, led Shah's entourage to the state party office.

Local party functionaries said among those who turned up to greet Shah while on his way to the state party office were members of the Muslim community.

Shah will attend a series of meetings with local party leaders including State unit office-bearers, central office-bearers, core group members, State spokespersons, MPs, MLAs, district presidents, among others, during his hectic three-day visit, Chauhan said.

Central office bearers from the State will also be attending the brain-storming sessions.

In addition, Shah will address intellectuals and meritorious students, besides releasing a book written by Kailash Narayan Sarang.

The visit is part of the BJP chief's 110-day nationwide tour to strengthen and expand the party's support base ahead of the 2019 general elections.
