BJP chief Amit Shah on 2- day visit to J&K, reaches Jammu

The Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah, who is on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir as a part of his Vistaar Yatra, has reached Jammu on Saturday morning.

The party supremo is scheduled to interact with the party MPs and MLAs of the state. The party meet will be held at BJP office, Trikuta Nagar, 11 am.

Party souces said Shah is going to kick-start 95 days tour of expanding the organisation base from Jammu and Kashmir. The tour will be focused on expansion of the party base and interaction with party workers across the country.

Shah is expected to discuss the strengthening of the booth level and to ensure the reach of pro-poor schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

His visit to J&K is likely to get attention in the backdrop of Kupwara attack in which three soldiers were killed followed by stone-pelting by protesters to disrupt the gunfight between security forces and the militants.

Shah has recently concluded his three-day trip to West Bengal. During the trip he also visited Naxalbari and Bhabanipur, which is West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee's constituency.

He also paid a visit to Jana Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mukherjee's ancestral house in Bhawanipore.
